Well all three Osprey chicks have successfully fledged. Two nights ago they were all present in the nest with two taking fairly long flights. Today all are gone but two are still getting used to flying. One spent the day on a smokestack. The youngest flies around the nest crash landing on boats and a nearby gazebo. They will likely stay in the area until late fall when they will make their way South. Once fully adult in 2-3 years they will then start their yearly migration back North, to this area.
