Shep, your pictures are great and I love seeing them all.  Thanks to you and Lani for posting them! I'm glad this nest is doing so well this year.

Whats the wind speed?
Looks like a monsoon!
Chick #2 will be OK if wind takes it off nest.  It can fly sufficiently to be unhurt.

Thanks Shep & Lani for the snaps and updates.
Glad Summer made it home and the nest continues to do well.

The last young un doesnt show any interest in leaving the nest.
Once that one flies we probly wont see any of them again.

Dad brings such small fish.
The Florida chick could eat a whole one that size - all by itself.

Summer arrived and started to land on his sister.   

10.30 am Mom arrives with a fish - and feeds chick #2.
The chick seems to want to take it herself. - my interpretation.

Can your camera zoom on where Summer is perchng?
I suspect Dad is bringing him fish???

NOW what - farmers market in parkg lot?

Dog training takes many forms, depending if its to be a companion dog, a therapy dog, a war dog, or whatever.  If this happens repeatedly, its well cared for.

Shep, I couldn't watch the dog video, was it being abandoned. I hope someone called the police.  :'(

Did somethng happen to the person in the blind?
An ambulance was parked next to it.


The dog was being trained.
Dog and owner come often to train the dog in that parking lot.

[Lani]

Morning Shep, Phyl 

Shep thanks for your quick reply regarding the dog training. That's a relief 

Regarding the ambulance, I went back through the cam video, couldn't find what you mentioned.
I checked on Montana Osprey facebook. Since Dr Greene is the one in the blind there was no mention of
any problems. He's been taking great photos!
Checked in the Hellgate Osprey Facebook and X(twitter) no mention yet.

Finn bringing breakfast for Antali 


Iris flies in with Summer and she starts feeding both

[shep]

Summer has a fish - and Mom & Ant want it.  LOL.
Summer turns and mantles.  LOL.
I clicked back to see how Summer got it.

Dad brot fish in - to Mom - who gave Ant a bite -
then Summer flew in and grabbed the whole fish!

Rather a humorous episode.

Hope the doc in blind is ok.

8/11 Today Sum-eh is the big 6-0 in days and Antali is 5-5. They have grown so much in such a short time

Mom feeding both chicks brekky.
Ant is doing more wingercizing & jumping.

I suspect Antali is male and Summer is a girl.

[Phyl]

Thank  you Shep!

Its a pleasure to watch Mom and Antali alone.
Mom feeds him - he begs for more. LOL.

Summer isnt there.
Maybe Dad gives her her own fish elsewhere.
Wish cam'd zoom over n focus on her roost.

The Ant should fledge today or tomorrow.
He's flappin up a storm.

I'd love to just call them Summer n Winter.  LOL. 

I wonder what the parking lot holds today ... never know ...   

[Phyl]

Thanks Shep ...for update.
Summer and Winter sound like great names to me.
Why not? 

This is true...one just never knows what's ahead in Life.
