This fledgling osprey is testing its wings. They are getting closer to flying. I took this 7-14-2022.

Bringing a Fish

These osprey eyases are growing in size and hunger. One of the eyases seems to be expressing need when seeing its father landing with a fish in its talons.

Growing

This eyas osprey is growing rapidly. The other eyas is under the shade of its parent. I took this photo at Lake Sonoma, Sonoma County, CA.

Leaving the Nest with Two Watching

Two eyases have their heads down, and all we can see is their eyes peeking out from the nest. I took this at Sonoma Lake, Sonoma County, CA.

Sibling Rivalry (2 of 3)

Sibling Rivalry

2 baby osprey arguing
When observing birds, it is not unusual to see conflict take place. It could be territorial or over food. In a nest, young birds such as these two osprey eyases are in conflict for who will dominate and get more food. I took this photo at Lake Sonoma, Sonoma County, California.

Two osprey Parents and Their Two Eyass

2 osprey parents and 2 babies
The eyass are under a week old. Yesterday I saw three, but it was too far away to get a decent photo of them. I took this photo at Lake Sonoma, Sonoma County, CA.

Leaving the Nest
