My wife and I were out for a Saturday drive and Noticed a Osprey nest atop of one the Hydro Towers was no longer there.. Completey gone .

 

Strange, it was there two days before. A Lighting storm went through the area on Friday night, maybe ????

 

Sure enough upon checking it out , the nest was completey Obliterated A few charcoal sticks were visible around the Base of the Tower.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then a Beautiful appearance from one of the Soya Bean rows ....A Fledging

 

 

 

 

 

Apparently, the parents won't go to the ground to feed the chick.....And the chick won't get Airborne from the ground =

Stepladder and an old end table.

 

 

 

 

 

Update to follow ....But things are not looking good for the chick and Mother to re-unite

 

Oh ya, the Bass

She has been back several times with a fish ,But will only perch high above the Chick .....1/2 Way up the Tower

That's one big ol' bass. Great job. Only the strong survive in the wild. Let's see what happens
