Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nests. Include views of fish prey.
Taika and T2 at nest #3 this morning. T2 turned three weeks old yesterday.
Some cute looking around together shots.
Tuulos spotted! Both make it known they would very much like the fish he is bringing.
FISH FISH FISH! FISH FISH FISH!
Tuulos has barely landed and Taika is already dragging it off his talons. Smart policy, though; he hasn't always let them finish a meal before taking the rest of the fish off the nest with him.
Fish!
Later, another imminent fish delivery. Taika is trying to do her customary screeching, but T2 keeps biting her beak.
Back to screech duet.
Taika doesn't begin feeding immediately, I think there were fish thieves to warn away first. But the fish is headless, and since it's already zipped open T2 begins nibbling at it and manages to get a couple of bites. Good job!
And feeding.
E2, E1, and Eve at nest #1 in the morning. E2 is now also three weeks old.
E1, E2.
Now the other way around again.
That was such a cute shot let's get it from another angle, too.
What broad wings you already have!
An unusual feeding arrangement, but if it works.
E1 stretching a wing and giving us a good look at its underside.
At nest #4, N3 keeping a lookout. N1 lying down at the front and N2 behind her. N1 is five weeks old today, being the oldest of the chicks from all three nests, and exactly two weeks older than nest #1's E2, who is the youngest.
N1 letting little brothers eat in peace.
N3 and N1 again, with N1
stretching a leg showing off her band and downy pants. Speaking of, a
video of their banding is now out.
N3, N2, N1.
N1 and N2 being peas in a pod, N3 preening.
N1, N2, N3. The chicks spot a parent approaching with something in their talons. How exciting!
Oh. Mom just brought moss for the nest.
N2 does more wing workout.
