You've posted some beautiful pics Allison - thank you!  I got totally sidetracked in August and haven't checked this nest in weeks!!   Embarrassed  Currently I'm only seeing one chick on the nest.

Glad you liked the pics, PattiO!

At least one of the ospreys is still around: perhaps one juvie and one parent.

Great wing shots Alison!  I love the one with the 2 fish.  That's a well fed osprey.

It turns out TT is still around!  One chick was food begging and I heard the other chick food begging in the trees on the other side of the river.  As TT flew in with the fish, the other osprey flew to the nest and the vocalizing really kicked in!

TT doesn't "stick" around long.   Wink   He left this time with a stick in his talon.    He circled around and returned the stick to the nest and took off again.  You can see the chick which didn't score the fish was still food begging.

I'm amazed how fast TT can fish.  It was 7 mins between the 2 fish drop off photos.  Lately I thought the female was still around since he returns so fast with a fish.

Great pics of TT and his offspring, Diane! What a good father and good provider he is!
I'm glad the ospreys are still around.

Hopefully this link will work.  It should show to anyone even if not a member of facebook.  It's TT bringing a fish.  I may not get back until next weekend so this may be my look at them.   Cry

That is a beautiful photo of TT with the fish, Diane! He seems to be really good at bringing in good-sized fish for his chicks.

Today I have only seen an empty nest so far. I wonder if the ospreys have left? There has been at least one there up to and including yesterday.

From Sunday:
