Now this is a sneezing Osprey chick at Creston there is is a small write
up on the updates about the sneezing also about what might have
happened to the chick that went missing

On the morning of July 19, the smallest of the three chicks went missing.
One theory is that it was pushed out of the nest by its siblings
(not uncommon with raptors), but a thorough ground search around the
base of the tree revealed nothing. Another theory is that it was taken by a
juvenile bald eagle that was seen circling in the area around the time
of the disappearance.

Ospreys are very prone to respiratory ailments and in observing and handling
chicks over the years, there have been several incidences of chicks that appear
to be very congested with mucous to the point of serious discomfort.
Wildlife biologist M. Machmer has not seen a lot of cases where this
congestion has been the cause of death when brood reduction occurs
but she suspects it can happen, as it has been documented with other raptors.

Jazzel - Great shots of the fledgling osprey still returning to the nest for dinner! There's nothing like being served freshly caught fish by your parents, right? :wink:
