The older (by one week) of the two Osprey chicks at nest # 4 takes flight, even if for just a few feet and a few seconds. I watched both chicks take turns taking flight today. Within a week I think they will have this stuff mastered. I noticed that all the Ospreys at the refuge looked to be banded recently. This is great news. Now we’ll be able to track their progress over the coming years as they mature, migrate and hopefully come back.
From my Saturday 7-11-2009 trip to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Oceanville, NJ.
