Snacks and stacks

Feeding screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nest #4. Contain fish prey.

N3, N1, and N2 from the front. They are 6, 9, and 8 days old, respectively.

N2 facing the wrong way. The back of N1's head is getting dark, with change into second down plumage.

Nuppu feeding the youngest.

Stacked chicks.

N3 is a little stuck behind bigger siblings again.

But manages to score some bites.

Where could it be?

Good luck with the search.

New birds on the block

Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nests. Two contain a glimpse of fish prey.

Nest #2 has been getting some traffic. Though there are no eggs or chicks, it's been visited by adult Ospreys, two of which might be a pair. Here's one of them, with SKT as her yellow band ID. Her gentleman companion of as of yet uncertain marital status has the yellow band ID TAR. They were banded as nestlings in 2020 and 2019, respectively, so both are quite young. Perhaps they'll move in next season?

Another visitor at nest #2: a male Cuckoo spends a moment calling.

And feeding shots from nest #4. N2, N3, N1 from left to right. 5, 3, and 6 days old, respectively.

Bundling the babies.

Fish strikes back!

Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nest #4. As the title already implies, post contains views of fish prey.

Nuppu and her triplets. I think that's N3 looking up.

Hat tricks, sunset mist, and meal moments

Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nests, warning for views of dead fish again. The third chick hatched today at nest #4!

First two pretty snapshots from last night at nest #3, with the resident female Taika incubating her eggs as mist engulfs the swamp around the nest tree at sunset. It's been another hot day.

Then to nest #4, where the chicks' dad Nemo finally makes an appearance in a screenshot, though he has been keeping the nest well supplied with fish. Nemo is on the left, mom Nuppu feeding the chicks. Nuppu has a metal band (🎶🎸) on her right leg, Nemo is not banded.

Double event

Screenshots from Sääksilive Osprey nest #4. The second chick hatched yesterday evening. Warning for bloody and headless fish.

Brunch for both.

Head's staying up a little easier already
