Day 203 - a Year by the Sea

July 22, 2007 by OrientSee.

Joyous news. After false hopes and resignation, it happened.  Belle Isle Marsh officially has a new family. The Ospreys came through and there is at least one chick. The Pandion haliaetus family is doing well. Both parents are active and feeding the youngster. You can see the chick to the right in the nest. Before and after photos definitely show the small chick popping up and down. I’ve been watching them for months and today I got an excited phone call from Soheil (the master birder and historian of Belle Isle birds). It’s just wonderful.

Ciao!
