I don't know if this was posted ..

Hi folks,
Here is a quick update on the pens made from sticks from underneath the Hellgate nest. The interest from you has been astounding! That is the good news.
The bad news is that so far Richard Miles has been able to make about 50 pens, and all y'all have expressed interest in about 300 pens.
The good news is that I have been able to ship more sticks from underneath the Hellgate Osprey nest, and Richard Miles just got the package yesterday. He has not had a chance to examine all the sticks and estimate how many pens he can make from this second batch of sticks, but probably it is the range of 80-100 or so.
Some more good news is that I am shipping him a third box of sticks. So if everything works out, Richard should be able to make close to the number of pens that folks are requesting.
We are hoping to "go live" with the pen project in about 3-4 weeks. We will have the logistics worked out then, and have a better idea of how many pens we will have from the limited stock of sticks.
So stay tuned. AND KUDOS TO RICHARD!!! YOU ARE THE BEST.
Cheers, Erick Greene

This is my closing post..Nest Summary for 2019

This season at Hellgate was very different .. Iris laid 2 eggs ... Iris was trying to incubate them and feed herself as well ..Louis didn't help much .. the eggs were stolen by Ravens :( and maybe that was a good thing.. and with thanks to Eric Greene Montana Osprey Cams
April 29 ·
Hello everyone!!!
It just continues to get curiouser and curiouser! So we know that Louis is mating with the female osprey at the baseball nest about 1 mile down river, and he has been incubating there and bringing in fish.
Today he also brought in a fish to Iris, and spent a little time incubating too! So Louis is trying to do double duty as a father with two females. Although this is known among Ospreys, it is pretty rare. So we have front row seats to this wildlife drama. We don't know how it will work out, so we all need to take a deep breath, calm down and hope for the best.
Thinking back about last year, Louis might have been doing this then too! Remember that there were long periods of time we did not see Louis last year. But he did show up with fish and help out with incubating from time to time. And Iris managed to pull off one big healthy chick last year!
So here is hoping! Think pure thoughts!
Cheers, Erick Greene


As we all know Iris looked after herself and her nest .. she ate well and spent nights on her nest .. she had in tip top shape before she left ..and Iris looked very healthy and fit :love:
At the risk of repeating myself .. Have a safe migration Iris .. we all love you and hope to see you back here next season :rh:

My wish for Iris :rh:
! hope you find a mate who cares for you .. Only the best will do, I know there is one out there ... :yes:

Thank you to Hellgate for the Cam and HWF for featuring it on your website.

Thanks you Heather, Carolyn , Ferenz , Philjo for posting here. :grhug:

Special thanks to you Heather for your many posts , s'caps and observations :hug:

Carolyn I love this poem :hug:

Iris is a beacon, for us down below,
we are not sure why we see it,
but when we do we know.

There is something in her story,
resonating in our own,
and for that fact we are never alone.

Glorious Iris, we love you.

Where is C9? Curious....

I read about the Montana snow last night and did not think to look here...thanks! What a delight in a way.
Heather thanks for your kind words (and Bev often too).

Snow glorious snow,
falling down from the rafters,
that is to show,
it's just for the raptors.

Fall on the open nest, fall on the ground,
so 4 feet somewhere, less others, it's snow,
in September for a beautiful show,
until it goes.
