Osprey Babies Attacked by Eagle
Jun 28, 2015 19:25:14 #
I have been watching a nest in Maine through a webcam. Watched 2 of the 3 eggs hatch (the 2nd egg laid never hatched). The chicks were around 3 weeks old. Friday afternoon they were laying in their nest and an Eagle came by and took the 1st chick and then came back for the 2nd one. I have been watching this nest for 2 years now and every upsetting. I feel like I lost a member of my own family. Cried all weekend.
Then a nest I have close to my house I have been watching for 3 yrs now. I decided to go check on them yesterday after crying myself to sleep Friday night after learning about the Attack. There are NO birds in the nest. We sat there for about 15 minutes and nothing. Something happened to this nest as well. So again very upsetting. All in the same weekend. I have some pictures of the parents, but never saw the babies. I usually start seeing them around this time of year when they are big enough to get to the top of the nest enough to see them.

I just started watching a live feed web cam on an osprey nest on Long Island (ospreyzone.com)
I know what you mean about crying. These parents George and Gracie have 3 babies and the runt gets pecked on the head by the bigger siblings and hardly gets any of the food. It is heart wrenching to say the least. This is nature and very hard to watch, and I feel so bad for the mom as the dad is never there and should be catching more fish for his family.

So its the dads fault?
Yep, he's a real loser isn't he?
Selfish as hell.
Just a quick question.
How many fishing boats do you think might be working out of nearby ports and within 200 miles of that nest, or on the routes of migratory and nomadic fish that frequent that area?
How much population is within 30 miles of that nest.
What percentage of the population likes to do a bit of fishing for food and hobby?

That is not what Angle is saying that it's Dad's fault. It's no one's fault. I simply shared a story and don't need to blame anyone :-).
It's nature and I understand that.
Angle the dad's fish the best they can and they do provide the babies and mom fish. You have to remember the weather conditions and sometimes may not be that easy to fish. Back to my story, I'm sure that is why the Eagles took the osprey chicks is to feed his own baby/babies.
