The last couple of mornings our osprey family have been taking advantage of the cooler weather. I have spotted them flying around the tailrace, sitting on top of the handrails, and one sitting on top of the owls head in the crane. It looks like they are having fun playing together. The are still returning to the nest each morning to meet mom and dad, but are getting more independent each day.
Yesterday during the evening storm, we lost connection to the osprey cam. Outside services have been contacted to help us locate the problem. Evening storms are in the forecast for the rest of the week.
Thank you for the update.Hearing about what the young Ospreys are doing is almost as good as seeing them. I can imagine how beautiful it must be to see them perform aerial acrobatics above the dam and hear the water. The screenshots you posted are great! Thanks so much!
