Tiger, for several months after fledging, long after Old Ma Osprey had disappeared, I would see Aussie sitting with Dad and Big Hook at the end of the bay and flying around the area. Same as earlier this year with Harmony, I'd see the three of them sitting in the trees in the same area or flying around. Then suddenly, probably in May, the juvenile wouldn't be positively sighted again, but on very windy days, it would not be unusual to see between six and eight ospreys soaring around the area.

Tamara, I'll be contacting the person who has been speaking directly to the rehabber today to find out how the sick osprey is.

Fledging is imminent. This shot is from the day before yesterday. It was lifting at least three feet above the nest floor.
