He is actually eating it. He's not quite as picky as his sibling.

hi jkr - she is certainly working on it- I can't remember when that fish came in but it has been rejected for at least two days now. Perhaps it was dry to start and ma found the fish, someone mentioned it looked sliced - maybe it was a steal from a fisherman??or a discard?

Thanks gd. I sort of wondered if it was my imagination that it was sliced open. Glad I wasn't imagining things. I'll bet the fisherman that lost a trout that size wasn't too happy about it.

The chick leaves the fish behind and flies off across the river.

maybe she has gone to get her own fish
8;39 magpie came by for a moment -I suspect our homebody is nearby because the magpie skedaddled quickly-missed the scap
oh, you got it, jkr, well done

8:39 am
Magpie stopped in, then promptly flew off.
Flock of gulls on the sandbar.

9:04 am
A few crows flying about.
No osprey seen.

For those who don't know Calgary here is a link http://www.fergie.ca/aboutcal.htm which will take you to a fabulous shot of downtown and the osprey nest. The nest is next to the big hydro tower shown on the tip of the island at the bottom of the photo.

9:20 am
One chick on the nest chittering.
He is certainly watching the hydro pole area.


Second chick arrives from the direction of the hydro pole. Both chittering. I wonder if Mom is nearby ?

9:22am both are in one after another calling and looking up to the right of screen. I can only guess that maybe?? Maybe ma is up there and they are telling her to please get breakfast. just a guess
