July 30--Waiting for the Nod...

Another early morning check out of the chicks. We did not see dad, but did get a chance to see how the chicks were doing. Both Blinkin and Winkin decided to prove their endurance and flew out of sight.  We think they decided to go get fishing training from dad.  This left poor Nod as the lone Osprey on duty.  He tried, and tried..but this is the best he got.

Meanwhile, Blinkin was having playful dogfights with a red-wing blackbird or two on the horizon..kids, they grow up so quickly!!!
