On July 1, CWF Habitat Application Supervisor Ben Wurst & CWF Volunteer Northside Jim, banded the two 4 7 days previous osprey nestlings at this nest. Thank you to the Osprey Basis for sponsoring this digital camera and United Rentals for comping our rental of the man elevate to accessibility the tall nest system!
Do you know if they male or female
Thank you very much. ❤️ I Love Osprey.
Banding birds disturbs them
Banding should only be done with endangered species like condors in Ca.
Why would you not place a "towel" over the birds head while banding?
Good thing, many osprey chicks are not branded. This osprey couple would be smart to find another nesting place next year………
It's amazing that the parents don't attack you. I've seen red winged blackbirds attack them and they dont defend themselves. I watch them every day & am so glad that a camera was put up so we can see them.
How beautiful! I didn't know they played "dead"!
Also, it's good to see real nest stuff in the nest, not human trash.
