Looks like rope to me Eve. Some one keeps bringing it back to the nest. Wonder why?

Bt you're right, Muff. The wire was more gray in color now that i think of it.

Maybe mama has it to tie up papa the next time he thinks of leaving her with four little ones in the nest?

WHEW! So glad you caught all 4 together, Ev! Now I'll sleep tonight. Betcha Little Guy thought the rope was a super-eel!
Have noted that from what I have been able to see, Little Guy is the only male of the bunch. If correct, he would be smaller, by nature's rule, than the other 3. ~ ~ The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are ~ ~ |

I was wondering about that, too, Realist, but is it still to early to sex them? Jim? They all look healthy, though, and I'm not worried about any of them
having a decent shot at survival even though only 50% make it through the first year I think.

I figured that once feathers turned black and freckles were very obvious on chest, sex identification was assured. But, who am I know to know if I was
correct??? Not a Biology expert, for certain. Echoing Ev...JIM??

Keep the faith Eve, realist, CK anie or what ever. All you folks who have followed this little bunch of wild life, Keep the faith . They are well on their way
for a great life of robbing goldfish ponds from humans. Payback's a bitch ain't it? LOL

Muff, payback is wonderful! LOL
Realist, you well might be correct on that. Can't see them all so clearly to tell either. |

Spots on the "chest" or "necklaces" are poor indicators of gender at this age. They have to be a year old before those markings mean
anything. A better indicator is size. Females are bigger than males. Any fledgling that is as large as its mother is female. Of course camera angles can make
that a tough call.

Thanks, Jim. I kind of figured that, but wasn't sure.
Realist, how can you tell it's Little Guy and Mama? |

Pretty certain it's Little Guy with wings spread from what I've been watching over the past few days -
Other Osprey appeared mature, to me... Not absolutely certain, of course. GLIBIDO
