Observations & Images
|
|
| The female Osprey could not seem to settle down this afternoon. | |
|
One of the nestlings gets up to take a good look around. |
| Both nestlings are visible in this image though the one on the left is partially obscured. | |
|
The adult feather pattern is slowly becoming apparent in the nestlings. |
| One of the nestlings appeared to be in distress throughout the afternoon. | |
|
The nestling was constantly panting along with letting out very audible squeaks as it breathed heavily. |
| Eventually the nestling made its way to the edge of the nest. | |
|
The nestling positions itself with its rear high in the air. |
| The bird relieved itself by letting out the usual milky white stream. | |
|
This did not seem to take care of the bird's problem because it continued panting while trying to join its sibling in the mother's shadow. |
| With the other hatchling hogging all the shade the afflicted nestling was left to suffer in the direct sunlight. | |
|
The mother creates more shade by partially opening her wings. |
