+Planet Posted July 21, 2007 Author Share Posted July 21, 2007 Ttepee saw both birds fly this morning, and I found out only because I accidentally called her on my cell right after it happened, must have been fate! Quote Link to comment
+forthferalz Posted July 21, 2007 Share Posted July 21, 2007 I only saw the thread had popped up again today - HELLO again to everyone from across the pacific. we'll be cheering you on when you go for the CITO paddle!! Same horrible trouble here with wildlife and plastic. One of our seaside towns has banned plastic bags completely. Get a news crew to cover you by sending out a 'media release' before you go with contact details to radio and newspapers. Quote Link to comment
+SmileyEarthGirl Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 (edited) I can not believe that I am, just discovering this thread! How incredible is this. I am from Baltimore MD, but now live in Palm Bay FL...with lots of interesting waterfowl and habitats. I loooove the blue bear story, and the rescue! OMG, I just can"t stand how cool this is. I must be an environmental geek, and proud of it. I just felt compelled to post. Edited July 22, 2007 by SmileyEarthGirl Quote Link to comment
+Speeding Element Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 I went from looking at the Car Caching Cache page to a link from oDragon's log about the parakeets, to Audobon's Osprey Cam, and golly if that thing doesn't look like it's got a ziptie around it's neck! That's the first thing that came to my mind. Sorry, I can't, dare not, will not go get it. So, next time you ask where's my bug? Don't necessarily blame a cacher ROFL!! (edit to add snapshot, before Junior eats it) I am so surprised this thread is still going. In all honesty, it is somewhat interesting. Quote Link to comment
+Aiden's Cachers Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Lets hope we have some more good adventures with the Cam this year! Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted March 24, 2008 Author Share Posted March 24, 2008 Yippeee! It's back up. The camera has been down all winter, I was checking it up to about a week and a half ago. Now I can't figure out how to get this computer to show it live though, and I'm pretty sad about that right now. How many eggs do you think will be laid/hatched this year? I'm hoping for another 4 eggs and for 4, but at least 2 to survive. It takes a lot of fish to raise those little Osprettes.... Ospreyettes..... Osprings........ big birds. Quote Link to comment
+Ttepee Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 And the Osprey are back too! I sure hope we have another Ozzie in the nest. Planet open the webcam page in MS Internet Explorer. You don't get the animation in Foxfire. Yippeee! It's back up. The camera has been down all winter, I was checking it up to about a week and a half ago.

+Planet Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 1 egg layed so far this year. Yepper! We're gonna have offspring! WOOHOO! Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted April 8, 2008 Author Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Happy hopeful parents with Egg #1. The mann just told me that he saw an osprey today come flying, grab a tree branch and broke it off the tree and flew away with it! So that's where they get them all! I guess it's easier to grab one in flight, than to land, pick one up, and take off again. It's an energy saver! Edited April 8, 2008 by Planet Quote Link to comment

+Planet Posted April 10, 2008 Author Share Posted April 10, 2008 COOL! I didn't see it! Woohoo! Come on Momma, two more, you can do it! The Spirit of Ozzy, the Osprey love Doll TB is being well taken care of, and has been rescued from a rusty ammo can whose lid rusted off at the hinges (must have been the salt air) and will be taken somewhere nice. And I've met the cacher who is currently holding it! Quote Link to comment

Fakk 2 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) If you look at the upper left of the nest it looks more like a transistor radio. Woot they will be boogeying to some rockin music. Edited April 16, 2008 by Fakk 2 Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted April 16, 2008 Author Share Posted April 16, 2008 I cant believe the crap they bring into their nest. Well, guess who left that carp out in the wild for them to bring to the nest. If you've read this whole thread then you know that last year the fire department had to go out to the platform in the water and get plastic off the baby, not once but twice. Plastic left by humans. It makes good lining and looks like some kinds of seaweed I guess. You'll also see a lot of blue things in the nest. Ospreys are attracted to blue. From the Audubon Website: Nests/Nesting Habits: Ospreys nest in tree tops, poles, towers, stubs, sometimes roof tops, chimneys, navigation buoys, rock pinnacles, stick piles, and even on the ground, but never far from water. Nesting material includes sticks, grass, seaweed and clods of mud. The following have also been found in Osprey nests: oars, fish nets, life preservers, hay rake, toy boats, brooms, boots, shoes, dolls, baskets, plastic sheeting and bags, door mat, bird wings and bleached bones (and in 2006, one blue stuffed teddy bear!). The adults return year after year to rebuild and add material to the nest. Some nests are occupied every year for 40 or more years by a succession of birds and reach a depth of over 10 feet. Fledglings leave the nest after about 8 weeks from their hatch date. (they mentioned our bear!) Quote Link to comment

Fakk 2 Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 PS: WE HAVE FOUR EGGS!!!!! How exciting!! Wow 4 eggs? Haven't gotten a chance to see them yet. The few times a day I switch over they are snug under mom or dad. Hope there are plenty of fish if all 4 hatch. Mom and Dad will be running overtime feeding them all. So when do we start up a name list for the youngins? Quote Link to comment

+Planet Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 For the first time in 3 years (hey, that's not that long) three COUNT 'EM - 3! eggs have hatched. It's really hard to make them out, but they are camouflaged that way on purpose. They are sitting there, one behind the other in a row. Quote Link to comment
+ComputerCacheBug Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 Awesome Pic. I been watching them trying to get a good pic but mom n pop always seem to block the camera when they get up. Quote Link to comment
+Hellolost Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 This was the BEST thread ever. I laughed. I got excited over the rescue mission for Ozzy. I hope the spirt of ozzy comes to CA and I now get to watch baby birds!! Quote Link to comment
+Ttepee Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 I can't believe there are 4 of them now! That's a lot of hungry mouthes to feed. I can't imagine how they'll all fit in the nest when they get bigger. Quote Link to comment
+Hick@Heart Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Add me to the list. I just read this thread from start to finish. What a great story. I'm going to write a short story about it on my website. Now to check that website and I just became the 30th person on the watchlist for the Spirit of Ozzy TB. Quote Link to comment

+ComputerCacheBug Posted June 3, 2008 Share Posted June 3, 2008 Well it looks like there are only 3 now. and 1 of the three doesn't look to strong. I fear the worse for him/her. It may just be 2 that grow up. Quote Link to comment
+Belfrypotters Posted June 4, 2008 Share Posted June 4, 2008 I think there may still be four (one showing behind Mom's wing, one to the left of the wing, one smaller one behind and to the left of the second one, and maybe one very small one lying in front of the others). Definitely two are stronger than the others, and that doesn't bode well for the little ones. It's amazing how quickly they grow. Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted June 4, 2008 Author Share Posted June 4, 2008 I really think I see four too. One is sitting on top of the other. I sure hope this is true!!!!! It sure is hard to tell isn't it? And I can't get my computer to show a live view. So I can't really watch it continuously to see them move. One by Mom's nose, then two, with the big guy sitting on top of the other one.

Three years of osprey watching in a little over an hour. I'm supposed to be working... This forum has taken on a life of its own. What started as a possible TB find has morphed into a nature show. I'm glad I found it. I'm hooked. Quote Link to comment
+ComputerCacheBug Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 I got a chance to watch during feeding time and Still only saw 3. 2 were eating and the third was off to the side and looked very weak, not even trying to feed and his head was hunched down. No sight of the forth. I do hope i am wrong and all 4 are there and that they are healthy. Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Aw gee, it's going to be hard to find out now! Maybe this is a private matter Mom and Pop have chosen to keep within the family. Quote Link to comment
+ComputerCacheBug Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 (edited) Well finally got a shot of the nest with mom n dad gone. All 4 are still in the nest, though 1 is still pinkish compared to the other 3. Hopefully they look out for their sibling. I'll post a pic when I get a chance. Lower left are 2 of them, the youngest one is in front with white stripes while the other three have their yellowish spots already. Edited June 5, 2008 by ComputerCacheBug Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Moments later! I think I see 4, one is a tiny little runt, and the others are looking pretty strong. Anyone else see 4? Yes, I am pretty sure that's 4. Quote Link to comment
+Planet Posted June 5, 2008 Author Share Posted June 5, 2008 Yippee! Remember, they were laid days apart, and grow fast, that runt might catch up if he can shove his open mouth in front of Mom and Pop enough. Quote Link to comment
