The female spreads her wings, and rises up .. UP .. off the platform.

She is doing this and enjoying it.
How long til she flies?

PERCHING
June 21, 2024 Captiva
Only one is perching up on the raised perchs.
Today the other perched on the side of the platform.

Nice pics of chicks from the back.

Tomorrow I hope to see the chicks perching -
on the raised perchs -
one on each side of the platform.

I think Mom is trying to lure them to fledge to the trees behind the cam.
Next year they will have a PTZ camera - which was destroyed in Hurricane Ian.

He misssed platform, went to our LEFT, landed in that channel between the 2 docks. A man on near dock with a net fished him out and boxed him and CROW picked him up.

This bird looks so large on camera, but so small setting on CROW floor.

FIRST FISH!
July 6, 2024 Captiva Island, FL
This young osprey caught her first fish July 6th.
Its only a little needlefish, but for a first - it'll do!

Mom! Its flapping! What do I do!?

Still no word from CROW on her sibling.
I expect its fine, just weak, hungery.
Heavy loss of ospreys in 2023 and 2024

Darling died
July 8, 2024 my edit of fb post.
CROW Rehabilitation of Wildlife clinic
We received a call July 4 that a fledgling Osprey from Captiva had fallen from its nest into the water. One of our volunteers responded immediately to rescue the bird and bring it to our clinic.

Upon examination, staff noted the Osprey had bruising on its keel (breastbone), had a wing droop on its left wing, and was thin and wet. Staff administered pain medication and fluids & was placed in a quiet cage to destress.

Unfortunately Darling died overnight.
It is unknown why.

I am very surprised the bird died.
