I don't know if I am especially emotional at this moment because I know we are not going to see them any longer in the near future, but this video sums up beautifully all the important moments we/they have lived through, that it has literally made me cry, a nice cry, but tears are pouring down my cheeks as I write.

Thank you, and every one else who have put photos and videos, comments and information. Thank you all for sharing.

Thank you very much. I'm very happy that you like the video




Oh yes, the webcam is better than any television program and I really love our osprey family




The video is created with Vegas Pro. On Vimeo the download function I set to allow. Such a video should not be block.

Do you need another format? Perhaps I can render it (using converter means to lost quality) and send you a download link.

Osprey parents must be very tolerant......the chicks here are screaming for breakfast....and the chicks at Hellgate are screaming for dinner..the parents are just screaming

I hope nobody minds if I post these portraits again, now with an explanation.

Yesterday morning it was misty and damp, and Uno and Nori happened to "pose" with their legs out showing their bands, as if for a formal portrait. (Elo finally posed after the mist was gone.)

That gave me an idea, because they will soon begin their migration, so they are "graduating" from the nest.

I don't know if other countries do this, but in the U.S.A. when a class graduates from high school they all get a yearbook with portraits of all their classmates to keep forever. Sometimes the students also vote for slogans to put below the portraits, usually things like "Cutest", "Most brainy", "Smartest", "Bravest", etc. Then they sort of predict the future by saying what each student is "most likely" to do, such as Most Likely to Land on the Moon, Most Likely to Become President, and so on. So I did all that with the Osprey portraits.

There have been so many great videos and photos and other tributes to this successful nesting season, and I wanted to offer something too, for my fellow forum members. So here they are, well-fed and well-fledged, ready to begin their first migration. I hope you like my tribute to the "nest graduates" of 2012.

Always in our hearts, if not always in the nest.

Wisteria - this is the best remedy for my "empty nest syndrome". I love the pictures.

I read somewhere,
that the chicks after fletching go to their nest to get food,
if they have not been successful with catching fishes

and the nest is all time the place for delivery

and a family-meeting-point ^^

Hi Wisteria, Very creative and such a great idea! I really like this. :)

Goodnight

Thanks for the info, meierlein!

And thanks Celeste and MarshaMay; I'm glad you enjoy the portraits
