Osprey fledglings
Jul 27, 2018 00:33:24 #
The three Osprey chicks at Alameda Point are almost adult size and flying. Mom got them there without the help of her mate, who unfortunately never returned to the nest after becoming entangled in fishing tackle. The fledglings are learning to hunt as mom still provides. These are large birds. In the fourth shot we see one on a chain link fence, whose link width is just over two inches. (average osprey length is nominally 20 - 26 inches)

Truly amazing photos. I am so glad mom could do it alone.
Most experts didn't think it could be done. Girlpower!
