The initial news was that it looked like Middle – the second hatch from the Achieva Osprey nest – was doing well when it was rescued by Bird in Loving Hands on Wednesday.
Middle was grounded and this was fortunate when the rescuers were there so it could go into care. At the time Middle had not eaten for more than two days.

This is today’s update:
Muster all the positive energy you have for this osplet! Thank you.
I went to the UK as a Commonwealth Scholar in 1990 and received my PhD from the University of Leicester in 1993. After three decades of university teaching, I retired to devote my time to the study of raptor behaviour. I am particularly interested in Ospreys and am working on a long term project on third hatch survival and siblicide in these raptors. My blog is a result of a fascination with my local wildlife and the desire to encourage others to love and care for birds! I live on the Canadian Prairies and prior to the pandemic travelled a lot. I am questioning the use of aviation fuel at the moment as we all strive to help our planet. My early research was in politics and art including British public statues exported to Southeast Asia and Vietnam Resistors that contributed much to Canadian ceramics. Books and articles were published on those subjects over a period of 3 decades. Now I am working on books for children so they can learn about the challenges our raptors face.

I really hope so, too. I know that you watch the Achieva nest. I was surprised when I got a note from the rehabber on Wednesday night saying they believed that Middle would be fine. Apparently dehydration is tricky. Patients look good and then they aren’t. The internal organs can be severely impacted. I hope that Middle survives, Akane. From watching that nest you know that he certainly deserves another chance! Good positive wishes for this fighter!
Thanks for this update Mary Ann! I pray we got to him in time. He looks good in the photo. I know he lost a lot of nourishment. Prayers and Beat Wishes for him 🙏❤️🦅
I sure hope so…the heat and so little fish in such a long time. But, he got help and he will not die on that nest starving and being battered by Big. I know they will do everything they can for Middle.
Thank you, Mary. Dehydration is a terrible thing. I hope that its organs were not too impacted but all those days with little fish in that heat…we live and hope.
Thank you for letting us know the status of 2.
I hope and pray that the 2 will be able to recover🤞

Sending love & good luck to Middle ❤️
