It's been a challenging year for the Ayers Island osprey. After returning to the nest and successfully producing at least two eggs the adult male disappeared, presumable meeting an ill fated end and leaving the female alone to tend to the nest, the eggs and hunt for food. Fortunately, soon after losing her mate an available male in the area showed up on the scene and has been with her since. However, during this difficult period one of the two chicks died. But the good news is the nest produced one healthy chick and we have a pair of adults ready to pick it up again next. Now, we have lost power to the web cam due to the extreme heat but we can assure you the birds have been very active flying in and out of the nest. Sorry for the inconvenience.
