Estonia: July 4
Feed at 12:52 EDT. The smallest is on the far side facing away from the female. Has a nice size crop so has been fed today. The other two are huge; bodies and crops!! :egg14:

The male prepped and delivered the fish to the nest.

A beautiful distinguished lady with a frill...

... closed her eyes and enjoyed a quiet evening with her offspring.

Male returns to the nest for a "visit". The nest colors are amazing. At times it's difficult to see the chicks as they blend so well with the nest materials.

I've been away almost three weeks, and I'm glad to see that the Estonian Osprey family appears to be thriving.

The chicks released a smoke screen (well, not exactly smoke...). Feeding - it may be the continuation of what jreagle posted: dad delivered a fish and now mom is feeding the chicks:

After the meal - contemplation of nature...

How the "smoke screen" was made:

Estonia osprey nest. Thursday July 12.
Big wind storm an hour ago 1030 EDT. While I watched some nest rail sticks blew off of the nest. The female left the nest. Chicks were huddled low. Cam is out. Hope the nest held! :nailbite:

Estonia after the storm. From the looks of the chicks, female, and nest it must have been a whopper. Haven't seen the male.

Thanks rysx for posting vids of the storm. I saw the stick come over the nest and I couldn't watch anymore! :nervous:
