2:40pm MDT (approximately)

Dad brings Mom a fish



Mom takes off with her gift



Dad moves into position to take over brooding. (Note color of eggs - two light one dark. I do think they are affected to some degree by the cedar shavings that Dad brought to line the nest bowl - but still, the one egg is darker)

7:05pm MDT

Watching the nest this afternoon was like watching paint dry! After days of lots of varied activities, it's now down to watching " the eggs turn"

This evening, Mom suddenly went on alert, stretching up tall as if looking for Dad. I thought I might catch a fish delivery, maybe even a koi. No, not the cause for the alert, it was a strange new noise on the river.

1:30pm MDT

The camera was running when I logged on at 11:00am MDT. Boring - no action - just a brooding Osprey and the river flowing by.

Did some house chores (cleaning closet). Took a break and looked at the cam and before I could hit the mouse button one of the O's (Mom or intruder) flew by the nest - just at the level of and close to the box - heading down river. I started recording.

Dad went on alert, stretching up tall and then flew off. Two humans were walking on the grounds below the nest. I have a lot of images so I will post them with out intro in sequence. Note as the first human reappeared on the lower side of the nest, he was carrying something red and then discarded it into the river Dad did three touch and go landings in rapid succession, guarding the nest and checking on the human intruders. The fourth time he settled down to brood again. In the last image, you can see Mom at the river, fishing. This episode lasted about 5 minutes total
