OBSERVATIONS~ ESTLAT Osprey~Madis & Piret's nest ~ 2013

[Kathy]

Head feather pattern is the same as yesterdays female....she seems preoccupied...maybe that would explain the quiet reserved attitude so far today....I like this bird...shes full of fire....if Madis does not accept her someone else will....shes fiesty....

[NancyM]

could well be the same Oksana - I did not see her "live" yesterday so should not try to evaluate.

6:25

Madis returns with more branches, Oxana talks to him for a few moments, then Madis leaves




Edit: Is it Oxana or Oksana? I like Oksana better, but I think whoever suggested the name spelled it Oxana. Maybe she will not be here long enough to decide?

[NancyM]

6:26 Madis was back for a brief time

6:53
Oxana is rearranging the sticks, tidying up the nest, and making herself comfortable.

6:59 and she is being very noisy again, calling constantly and loudly.

[NancyM]

7:07 Oxana made a poopshot (she has been eating well) and now she is back to yelling

(sorry if I spelled her name wrong before !)

[Chimega]

Yes, more yelling and yelling

[meierlein]

:peek:



yelling for breakfish - what an awful sound

[NancyM]

7:23 Madis comes with a fish, which the female grabs - then she swats him away

[Wisteria]

7:23 Madis delivers a breakfish and leaves

Oxana continues to call and twitter as she eats.

She attacked him after he brought her a fish. Ungrateful hussy!!

Maybe she is disappointed that all he wants to give her is a fish.

Hey, Madis came back with a fish, Oxana grabbed it and tried to kick him out! He left immediately...
The same as yesterday:
Oxana fast eating the fish and complaning loudly at the same time..

Oxana suddenly left the nest, with the fish...? seems like, yes, - she came back, eating and complaining loudly again...
Madis came back as well, sitting on the other side of the nest now... quiet, as usual

[Wisteria]

7:51 Madis alone in nest doing some remodeling

7:52 and he's gone again, nest is empty

[meierlein]

:peek:




this girl is driving me crazy
I better leave

[NancyM]

meierlein ~~~ can you please post nest time from your pictures? they are 7:30? these birds fly in and out so often, it is hard to keep up

Thank You

[Chimega]

She is driving me crazy, too. Apparently, she would rather just get fish and snap at Madis than mate with him.

Come on, Piret, get yourself in gear and get home!!!!

[Mila]

O. T.: NancyM, which time do you use for documentation...? - Oh, I see... "nest-time", which is different from "Forums-time"!


Nest is empty...! and stays empty...
Madis and Oxana arrived, one after another, at 6:30 Forums-Time
(maybe they quickly mated somewhere else, that we can't tell Piret... )

[Chimega]

Madis came back to an empty nest. 04-19-2013 7:39.
