Two Day Scare - No Problem
E-mail from Jim Martin:
For the past 48+ hours Tuttle, Martin, Germann, and Phillips had not seen the Male Osprey (with the transmitter) anywhere near platform #1 on Hogback Rd. along Alum Creek. We were very ready to ask Mr. Sherman & Ms. Daniel to request a telemetry reading last night, but decided to await until this morning. I am pleased to say that the elusive Male showed-up, albeit still "elusive". He was poised near the roadway on Hogback, very noisy and very sprite. He flew over the nest on platform #1 (his Mate & 2 kids all well) and again disappeared into the woods across the lake. His behavior is new to his observer; likely typical.
All good news. The three youngsters on # 4 are getting huge, near the size of their Mon & Dad and exercising their wings and will soon fledge - Perhaps tomorrow.
The two on Platform #1 are a full week behind and doing well.
Best Wishes,
Jim Martin
