I'd like to add this:
"three beaks on one fish"

Never saw a tug-o-fish like this at osprets... and I'm glad none of them got hurt

I'm glad, that this lonely chick could it make. At the beginning it looked not good there for this season...

An intruder is nearby:
Looks like only two siblings are still around, maybe the first one is on his/her long first way...stay safe!

The visits from the siblings will more rarely, soon they will go for their long journey from Canada to South America...
I'm really glad, that this season was successful for Luther and his new female Sera. The last year was a disaster there. Stay safe lovely osprey family...
Luther with fish, nobody comes at this time...
...but three minutes later re-delivery. The feathers look wet, maybe the youngster made a fishing attempt.

Birdfriend: Don't Canadian ospreys migrate to South America? Not Africa, for sure.
Did Luther and Sera raise a chick successfully? And why was the previous female a disaster? What happened?
I guess I just have to browse through this thread.

Sorry, my mistake, South America is right. I will edit my post.
I meant the previous season there was a disaster, not Luthers female.
Last year Luther lost his female and his two offsprings. It was my first observation from this nest. At first the female died. Luther was alone with two little chicks, brought fishes and was feeding them. They grow up and developed well, but then a Great Horned Owl took at first one chick and two or three nights later the second chick. It was heartbreaking for me, since then he is my osprey hero and has his place (my avatar).
In this season Luther and Sera raised two healthy chicks, I had fear, that the GHO could be there again...but all was well, fortunately...

Birdfriend: Thank you for the summary. Oh dear, poor Luther. What a brave osprey. Heartbreaking. I am glad that I did not watch this. There was a mention somewhere on this forum of a GHO having taken two osprey chicks.
But they raised two chicks this season. I am happy for him and his female.

Dad brought a big headless fish to his chick, I guess, it is B99 (most likely female). Luther lands almost at first on the nest, waits a bit, then the offspring comes too... I don't know, if the other sibling B00 (most likely male) is already on the way...
Some minutes later the youngster flew with his fish.

Luther and B99 are still there.
So nice to see them.
Happy about the half eaten fish from Dad. Luther was on the nest longer before with the completely big fish, but nobody came to take him...so he has eaten well himself.

One youngster is still around, I went back and saw he/she was on the support most likely during the last night.
Ferenz pic shows it.
