Just a quick addendum to the earlier news this morning.
Do you remember the Osprey chick tangled in fishing line in Northern California? It had a sibling on the nest and the nest was said to be inaccessible and difficult with live wires?
Turns out the wires weren’t live. Once the other chick fledged, great people got up and untangled the other one! There were no wounds or scratches.
Jann Nichols will have more on the Nor-Cal FB page later but isn’t this fantastic news…no images but imagine the relief and now this little one can fly free.
Thanks Everyone!

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.
