Audubon Osprey Nest
Hog Island, Bremen, Maine,
May 18, 2020
Rachel didnt return this year
Steves' new mate is Lady Phoebe
They have 3 eggs
The naughty owl is still a threat
-
Steve and Lady Phoebe give up
May 25, 2020
I pull this up pre-dawn and see eggs alone - all night.
Mod posted Steve and Lady left their 3 eggs
The naughty owl drove them away
Apparantly Lady will brood the eggs during the day but not at night.
Too early from any final conclusion
mod poppy posted
Lady and Steve chose to stay away from the nest, entirely
? Steve left at 7:47 pm, Lady at 8:19 pm.
I think that is the best decision that they could have made. It keeps both Lady and Stev, safe.

May 25 afternoon
Lady's been on her eggs every time I look

May 26 at 4.30 am
Both birds gone all nite. Lady returned awhile ago to perch at the end of the stick awhile before returning to nest.
This is an interesting study with both GHO and eagle to bother the ospreys. An eagle took both chicks one year. I agree with mods. No chicks is better. We dont know if those eggs are fertile. I am seeing several new pairs of birds and their eggs did not hatch, or only 1 hatched.

Osprey at the end of the stick, nest empty.

Interesting behavior

Rest in Peace Dion... fly high little one! Stay strong, Rachel, Steve and Halley. :'(
Dion

Sadly Dion was taken during the night by a GHO.
Rachaels foot is healing nicely and she has been seen fishing on her own. Rest In Peace Dion. Fly high little one! Stay safe lil Halley! :-*
It is a sad time, once again, for our Hog Island family: ospreys and humans alike. On July 25, at 2:02 am EDT, a Great Horned Owl took Dion, Rachel and Steve's youngest chick. Silently, unpredicted - as it is their modus operandi. Rachel was on its tail feather but couldn't do anything. It happened too quickly.

Were Halley & Dion Rachel's 2019 young?
I remember an eagle took them -
or was the eagle 2018?
This nest isnt safe

Hog Island Osprey
June 14, 2020 Dawn
The owl chased Phoebe away then hung around. He may hear one of the chicks inside the egg. He went to an egg an maybe tried to open it, gave up and left. It is more likely the male owl.
11 am Steve returns to nest but female not seen.
An eagle attacked Steve 2 weeks ago.
mod poppy
June 13, 2020 at 11:51 pm the GHO attacked once again. Phoebe was on and off the nest several times in the late evening and finally returned an hour prior to the attack to resume incubation. She was able to shake off the owl and escaped. The longer the eggs aren?t incubated ? especially during rain - the more questionable is the outcome

Viewer discretion is highly advised!

Yes, Halley & Dion were Rachel's 2019 young. I watched last year... Rachel was injured. Decided not to watch this year. :-\ My heart aches for our raptors. Prayers for this family.
Thank you for the updates my friend Shep! ;) Keeping my distance since GSB loss... got attached to lil ones.

mod Poppy, Explore
Phoebe and Steve have adjusted to their former nighttime routine:
Phoebe doesn?t return to the nest after the last fish delivery while Steve is incubating until about 9 pm. Both return around 4 am the next morning when an owl attack becomes more unlikely.

Hog Island Osprey Friends!

And then there was only one egg left? After the first egg got kicked out of the bowl on July 6 and got covered by nest material, yesterday, an egg cracked. Steve was moving the empty shell around. The remaining egg will face its fate soon as well. It is only a question of days.

Youngest Osprey Chick Stumbles Around Nest, Shows Off Huge Crop – May 18, 2021
https://youtu.be/zyg8EFi0rR4 via cornell lab bird cams
The youngest Osprey chick goes on the move in the Savannah nest. Watch the nestling totter its way across the nest before resting to arrange some sticks and show off its bulging crop. Somebody's not going hungry today!
Watch live at www.allaboutbirds.org/savannahospreys
During the Fall of 2014, a pair of Great Horned Owls began frequenting an abandoned Bald Eagle nest adjacent to a protected, nutrient-rich salt marsh along the Georgia coast. This nest sat nearly 80′ above one of the six Audubon International Certified golf courses at The Landings, on Skidaway Island, near Savannah, Georgia. Over the course of 2015 and 2016, a pair of owls successfully fledged four owlets from the site, but they did not return to breed in 2017.
Instead, a pair of Ospreys began renovating the nest and committed to breeding at the same site from 2017 to 2019, when the dead tree that held the nest was removed due to being designated as a falling hazard. A new nest site was erected in an adjacent tree in the fall of 2019, and the Ospreys were quick to take up residence at the new site in 2020.
Ospreys are consummate fishing birds, and this pair fishes primarily from the nearby salt marsh, ponds, and waterways. They use their 6–7 foot wingspans to soar above the water, looking for fish, then diving as deep as 3 feet for shallow-swimming prey. Adult Ospreys usually weigh 3–4 pounds, and they can carry prey up to 50 percent of their own weight. Ospreys can live up to 25 years, and they typically lay 1–4 eggs in a clutch.
Most Osprey pairs are monogamous, staying paired across seasons and beginning nesting soon after each returns from a long migration. Both sexes incubate the eggs. The female sits for the majority of the time (including throughout the night) while the male provisions her with fish. After the eggs hatch, the male continues to bring fish to the nest; the female exclusively broods the young and dissects their meals for about a month after hatching. Later on, when the chicks no longer require her protection and their appetite for fish increases, she will leave the nest and go fishing.
