Nelson Hydro has arranged for fish to be delivered to the nest area "tray" every other day. MsNellie still has the option to fish and she may still do that when these two get a bit bigger and she can leave them longer. She has found her gold mine and she's taking advantage of it. So far today she has brought 4 fish from the tray to the nest. She must have been hunting for something. I don't know how else Spongebob could have gotten on the nest.

Although this has not been officially confirmed, there is talk of a Rehab group getting the young osprey Nel out of the nest. http://www.owlcanada.org/ It seems for what ever Nature's reason, MsNellie is not taking the fish from the tray anymore. From what the mods at Nelson Osprey have said, there has been 0% success rate at hand feeding an osprey. But they continue to try. The saga continues.

Thanks, Hiker.....Oh, this is fierce hard to watch. Nellie has stopped feeding, fishing, or taking fish from the tray. It's almost as if she is staying with the chick until the end when she might be free. A rescue may be too late.
Having cameras in so many nests is certainly showing us that not all nests(or even most) are "happily ever after". Mother Nature rules, again.
Meanwhile...back at the nest. Nellie has a new man in her life....she removed the remains of the dead chick from the nest and sticks are being brought to the nest. Nature moves on..New guy on the left....new mate 2.JPG - Bild entfernt (keine Rechte)

That just about knocked his socks off. 
Tag, the youngest didn't make it through the night.
