Osprey Family July 22nd

Decided to take some pictures to see how the osprey chicks Wilson and Gwen have grown / matured in the last week. Saw Poppa Skip deliver lunch, so the 1st photo is Mom and the 2 chicks enjoying their fluke lunch.

Focus on food, the osprey heads stayed down for 10 minutes. Dad flexing after delivering lunch.

Estimate the chicks are 6-7 weeks of age. Check out Wilson’s wings! He seemed to control them pretty well, flight attempts coming!

Wilson spreads his wings, quite impressive! Gwen still hungry picking at the leftovers.

The Osprey chicks, Wilson and Gwen, are growing up quickly, hope to see them learn to fly and fish in the coming weeks.

The young ospreys will hang with Mom and Dad for rest of the summer learning their skills.
