The whole gang is still here... The chicks stayed the night on the perch last night.. this is a hit and miss with them. Sometimes they both stay, sometimes only 1 stays and then there's the third choice... neither stays.

Re: Dunrovin Ranch MT Osprey cam . 2018
Hal and Harriet are doing their best to get these 2 ready for migration... however there have been at least 4 fish that have gone overboard in the past 2 few days.
This is a delivery from Harriet at 1:26 pm .. Congo hangs on to this one - Wakati isn't around at the moment to compete for it.
These two are very competitive when it comes to grabbing the fish and they just don't seem to realize... the fish are alive, slippery and flop all over the place.
These 2 video's from the evening show when both are on the nest and it goes all wrong for them.
First delivery is from Hal... 6:30 pm ( notice that there is already remains of an older fish stuck on the side of the nest. )
8/31/18 ~ DUNROVIN OSPREY.... FISH OVERBOARD!

This delivery is from Harriet... 8:14 pm
8/31/18 ~ DUNROVIN OSPREY...OOPS! THERE GOES ANOTHER FISH!

Congo returns back to the nest with Wakati arriving a few moments after her. Congo leaves when she lands but returns after circling around, this time landing on the perch.

Re: Dunrovin Ranch MT Osprey cam . 2018
8:00 am - they are both still hanging out and waiting - vocalizing for a free handout.
They did this while I was staying at the ranch every morning.. no need for an alarm clock.
note from my trip:
On one of the days they weren't on the nest waiting. I went for a walk and ended up finding Hal and Harriet off in the distance, each sitting with a half eaten fish.. waiting for the moment for the delivery. Finally one of the chicks came in from the direction of the river... yes - they were trying on their own while I was there. Harriet left her perch with her half eaten fish and made the delivery. Hal stayed with his fish until chick #2 made an appearance. It was amazing watching them interact with each other.
