There has been only one chick visible for nearly an hour.

Gone from 8:10 - 9:30. Back and looking quite pleased with herself.

Mel, you sure the one chick fledged. I was also watching and saw the one chick at the 10:00 o'clock position and I thought the other one had fledged, however, under the date/time stamp at the bottom of the screen I kept seeing the other ones tail feathers moving, almost impossible to see it as the cam doesn't go down that far. Time will tell.

I didn't see it fly but I was watching for it at the bottom. I know they like to hang out there. Didn't see a single feather for nearly 20 minutes until I had to look away. It's possible they were hiding out, though.

That's funny, I was reading her past blogs (very funny) and when I looked back I could only see the 10:00 o'clock bird, maybe wynken (or blynken) has fledged, one was born on 5/29 and second on 5/30 according to their website, it's time.

Well, the fooled me again. One chick very prominently visible; the other is completely out of view of the cam. I had to watch for about 10 minutes to finally catch a glimpse of the 2nd chick.
Can't say I blame them for not expending the energy on flapping and flying. It's beastly hot & humid - the heat index right now is figuring at 106 and that's at 7 pm. Tomorrow is going to be worse. Normally I come home to hearing several osprey flying and calling but today - NADA! Not even the crows are out.

The heat is really keeping things quiet here also. The word has gone out that we keep cool water in the bird baths at all times-:-) This morning they were referring to tomorrow's temp in NY hitting the "century" mark. I am praying to the electricity gods through the night that we do not have any blackouts!
