MIXED EMO
Aug. 15, 2024
1.15 am Empty nest, Mom on her perch.

6.25 am  One chick lands in nest - briefly - I assume Summer.
I hope Mom's with Antali.

6.45 am  chick lands in nest, I cant tell them apart.

7.45 am  Iris has been standing in the nest yelling.
Finn just dropped off a fish.  Then Mom flew off with the fish toward the cam.  Thats the direction Antali fledged, so I'll assme she's taking him the fish.

8.30 am  cam pans over -  osprey on the telephone pole.
I cant tell if its adult or fledgling.
Its overlooking the river - could be fishing.

11 am  Chick in nest eating fish.

13.22  Summer (?) in nest.

Yes, mixed emotions, yep.
I did notice Iris tried to lure Antali with fish.
It musta been Summer who came to nest - but left in 5 minutes.

Glad the fledgling was in a tree - OFF the wires!

WHERE IS CAM 2?

[Lani]

Hi Shep, 2nd Cam is located on the top right of the main cam. Click on 2nd Cam button located between Updates and Donate buttons.

I watching Cam 2 for Antali, he's got to be in those trees. Cam 2 has been trying to locate him.

Tks. for all the updates and snaps everyone!

Morning Shep and Phyl,
This was posted on X Hellgate Osprey an hour ago.
"Good Morning, #CHOWS! "Patience is the calm acceptance that things can happen in a different order than the one you have in mind." David G. Allen
Dr. Greene is looking for Antali & may have spotted him. Keep up those great positive thoughts and prayers. "

Thank God, I'm one of those nervous aunties too, waiting for news and watching for Antali to return to nest or land on pole.

I found cam 2
I wont be able to see a bird unless cam zooms on it.

6.45 am  Fire engine and ambulance arrive, lights flashing.
Amb turned siren OFF when it turned into Univ.
6.57 am Amb left - lights & siren ON

8.02 am Summer lands in nest demanding breakfish

8.46 BOTH parents and a chick in nest.  Chick came yelling - one parent came then another.
I think one had fish - not sure.  I dont see well.

DOES Dr Greene HAVE ANY IDEA HOW EAGER WE ARE FOR NEWS OF OUR BABY?!

Hello Lani & Phyl   

[Lani]

Shep, yes, Dr Greene knows how eager we all are, as he's been searching for him since he fledged.

1:14pm Posted on Hellgate Osprey!
Good news!
Dr Greene has seen Antali, looking hale and hearty 1/2 to 1/3 mile upriver with Finnegan, who has been feeding him away from the nest.

Iris & Finn in Empty Nest
August 17, 2024
6.15 am  summer in nest


I am relieved.  To me, Antali's fledge looked accidental, not intentional, so I was concerned.
I was even more worried when he was on the wires!
Glad he's OK.

Finn has his hands full ... err ... wings full now.

Thanks for posting Lani

Good morning Shep. I agree with you about Antali's fledge. He was wingersizing when he went over the side. I bet the poor boy said "OOPS!"
Great update and pic, thank you! 

When Iris was on the nest feeding Summer,
there was an osprey on the Dead Tree on 2nd cam at the same time.

[Phyl]

Howdy! And good morning...

Watching your rewinds, Shep and Lani and written updates.
Look like an "Oooops!' to me, too.
Thanks for sharing and keep us up to date.

11.25 am  Chick in nest - Mom is feeding it.
Is this Antali??
Chick looks smaller - and Summer eats her own fish.
I am SO GLAD Ant came home, so we got a last look at him!
What a BEAUTIFUL family.

[Lani]

Shep!! I think it is, I'm checking for confirmation from Montana Osprey FB!!
But, to me it is Antali!!!! He made it back home!!!
Prayers answered!!

[Lani]

Shep, I checked Hellgate FB and they say it is.
I can see his chest, very lighter than Summer!!!
Oh sweet boy being so gentle with his mom! 

Not like Summer who took a bite at dad Finn's leg today. LOL!


Iris left after eating the fish.
Antali looks like a sleepy boy.

[Phyl]

Thaks for snaps and update.
So glad our fella is back.

LEARN to FISH!
Aug. 18, 2024
7.45 am  Both chicks in nest.

10 am  There sit both fledglings - in the nest - waiting to be fed.  LOL!
I think its time they learn to catch their own fish!
If they are fed in the nest, they wont learn.

10.22 Parent flies in with fish.  Antiali wants it!  Begs.
Parent flies off with it.  LOL!     Returns.  Leaves.
Summer arrives!  uh oh..... she has the fish!
Summer leaves with the fish, Antali pouts.

10.37  Parent comes with fish.
This time Ant FIGHTS to grab it - succeeds, mantles - eats his fish.

11.33  Ant is minding his own biz - eating his fish - S L O W L Y .....
Snaky Summer flies in and wants it.  BAD GURL!!

The nest was occupied overnite by 2 birds.
I think it was Iris and Summer.  Not sure.

Psst... Summer ... go catch your own fish!   
That chick was awake yammering all nite!

BOTH fledgling chicks were in nest late yesterday.
Summer appeared protective of her lil brother.

Lani, I dont do facebk - or twitter, have no access.
My social is Gab.com

Hi Shep,
Antali has not left the nest since he arrived yesterday.
Sum-eh just took the fish... sweet boy needs fish.
