Oxana is busy preparing the nest for eggs. She's made a bowl and rails are going into place. She's still constantly calling for Madis and never shuts up! He came to the nest and brought her a snack but the whole time she was still calling and I heard another Osprey in the distance calling back to her???
After a few minutes, Stud Muffin returns to the nest with another fish. This time he eats it himself and Oxana watches in disbelief! LOL LOL She's really telling the news now and Madis just has this look of defeat (or guilt) and just keeps on eating.

Great story patti. You did a great job splaining this all. It's going to be fun seeing what happens when the eggs and babies come. Will she be quiet then?? Makes ya wonder what bird language is.

Whoa! That wound looks like it's more on her body than her leg. I hope she's not hurt too bad but I don't think she's been back has she? Both these ladies need to get a grip. Madis is cute - I guess - be he ain't all that! pfffttt!
WELL, IT WAS A LONG AND HARD FIGHT, BUT PIRET HAS WON. HERE'S A PIC OF MADIS AND HER MATING TODAY. I FEEL BAD FOR OXANA THOUGH; HER EGG IS LOST AND HOPE SHE IS OK AFTER BEING INJURED. BOY, IT WAS A FEW DAYS OF DRAMA IN ESTONIA.

Well Piret & Madis were at it again this morning 8:40 am ET It must have been a heck of ride for Piret too because the wind looked like it was blowing 90 MPH & the nest was rocking away. Piret was having a hard time holding on to the nest.

Estonia 5-6-13 early am.J
Estonia Piret & madis 5-6
It looks like things may be settling down for Madis and Piret. Still waiting to see what they do with the one egg left by Oxana and when the pair's eggs will be coming. They continue to mate, but no eggs yet.
THE NEST IS EMPTY OF OXANA'S EGG. PIRET AND MADIS STILL COME TO THE NEST FIXING AND BRINGING MATERIALS, BUT NO MATING SO TO SPEAK. CHATTERS THINK IT'S TOO LATE NOW FOR EGGS. BUT, TIME WILL TELL. MADIS STILL BRINGS PIRET FISH DAILY.
