5:12pm Chessie wingercising and getting quite a bit of height today. S/he's only 50 days old - so it would be a bit early.
(Dyfi's first fledge this week was 51 days old - their average is approx 52 days according to their website and FB.)

(I'd love to know if 'singleton osprey' fledge sooner than multi-chick nests... also wonder about peregrine falcons..)

Chessie is verrrrry close to fledging...
and the cam is down! Ches Conserv is aware and their IT dept is working on it!
I saw some amazing helicoptering yesterday where s/he was out of cam view for several seconds.
Around 6:00pm, I was sure s/he had fledged... nope - just practicing. Audrey brought in a fish which immediately settled h/h down for the evening.
Whew!
(I read statistics somewhere, maybe from Tiger and Chloe's imagicat.com site, where according to their records, the latest time during the day that a fledge occurred was 6:15pm-ish.)

10:15am Someone posted on FB that they're getting a frozen pic on the cam stream... and it looks like Chessie may have fledged.

DARN!

(My cam pic is blank-black screen.)

:gaaaaah:

Thrilling moment

Quote:
Chessie's First Flight - Chesapeake Conservancy: Osprey Cam chick Chessie has been practicing and practicing.

Finally, on July 21 the little chick took to the air and left the nest for the first time!

Chessie is flying well - comes and goes several times a day.
6:02pm Tom brings a fish, Audrey takes it. Audrey has not been sharing fish with Chessie (she's probably getting ready for her migration).

6:04pm Tom (with head down) on right.
Chessie trying to take the fish from Audrey!

Earlier today, Uta noticed that Chessie has been frequently closing his left eye.
Here's a picture I was able to grab earlier. It doesn't seem to be bothering h/h - h/h flying and eating and calling for food (and defending the nest!) are fine!

Tom was stick-happy today... maybe Chessie got poked during a delivery???
