The tantrum was short lived and Aussie was soon having a well earned sleep.

Knip, my fellow observer has been watching these Ospreys for the last few years and he believes it will be at least another couple of weeks before there are any fishing lessons. He has observed the parent birds flying around the area with the fledglings and that before any fishing commences the youngsters need to build strength. Makes sense. He has also seen the fledglings battling our frequent very strong winds with the parent birds calling as they fly with them to encourage them to return to the nest site. These flying forays last about ten minutes.

That's it for tonight. Thanks for sharing my experience. Back there when the temperature drops below a million degrees.
