I paddled across the bay early in the morning to check on the Ospreys. I've been so worried about the third chick. My heart sunk when I found only two in the nest, with mom and dad close by on the pier. No little bundle of feathers hidden behind the two siblings.
But wait! What! The third little guy had fledged!! There he sat on the railing of the dock, not far from the nest. I will admit he did look a bit scared and had the look of how did I get here! He also had the look of how do I get back there!
The two siblings looked on with awe...
and the little
brave one began to puff up with confidence.
Mom was proud.
