:5val: And here are their names as posted per mod!

Hello, osprey fans!

We proudly present the names of this year's osprey chicks:
First chick: Eric from camp without his brilliant idea there would be no nest and he did such great rehab work on it this off season.
Second chick: Little B for Dr B., enough said! Dr. B. suggested this name to avoid pronouncing difficulties with "Bierre"
Third chick: Spirit to honor so many nests who have lost their young this season.

:5val: This truly is prime real estate for osprey! From mod with explanation on why Steve catches so many fish:

What a fishing frenzy we witnessed yesterday. 19 deliveries to the nest! In comparison to inland nests, Steve has the advantage of two kinds of water bodies: the sea and lakes/ponds. It is easier to catch fish in the sea because herring, mackerels and alewives swim in large swarms. That is why he often comes back with 3 or 4 fish in only 20 to 30 minutes or makes double deliveries. Freshwater species are rarely seen in swarms, only when they are running upstream to spawn. That makes fishing a bit more difficult for Charlie at Charlo, MT.

:buzzybee: From site:

Two new records! Steve delivered 23 fish on Thursday, Rachel delivered four as well. A new personal record for Steve and an overall nest record (27 fish).
Question to Dr. B: Why is he delivering so many fish this year? Answer: Because he can...
