6:00 cranes calling. but no sign or sound of osprey. Yesterday, Nori arrived at 5:41, today there is fish on the nest and no Nori

6:05 Nori arrives and immediately claims one of the leftover fish chunks.

6:07 a few chirps to ask "where is everyone?"

6:07 Nori decides to take her fish off the nest

The fish chunks are quite large.

(I think Nori is female because she seems a bit bigger -now- and dominant. Initially I thought Uno was male because he flew quickly and he because he may be smaller, but now I don't know. I think Uno is like Spot -a female lesser spotted eagle -- a raptor who is eager to be out and about as soon as possible and that those traits may not be sex linked.)

Leaving so much fish is definitely a new behaviour.

6:06
Nori is here for a bite of one of them.

Dang I did not save the image of her arrival before I caught her departure -- with the fish.

Alice, I am "sure" that Nori is female (She grew fast after a slow start and now she is huge), and fairly "sure" that Uno is male (Only because he is smaller). I am not going to guess about Elo.

6:25 crash landing on the cam support, then Elo lands in the nest. S/he claims the other fish, and stands on it for a minute or two.

6:27 Elo flies off with the fish, calling as s/he goes.

Nori sings a different song as he approaches the nest bowl. :D ...a very happy chirp that is a different song than the usual screeching for daddy Madis:chick:

7:16 I can hear an osprey calling in the distance - it sounds like Nori to me.

7:40 Nori has been calling for several minutes (in the distance) - and now the cranes are calling too.

The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
