Oh, my goodness. How many people were cheering this little one on to fledge? Little Dewey defied the odds, and it was the female that made this happen – just like Jill did at Achieva. Without Mum fishing, the outcome would not have been as exciting as we are feeling today.
I have to admit that I worried every day if fish would come in and be plentiful enough for Little Dewey to make it to the end. Last year, at 50 days the chick died. But not Little Dewey. Strong and determined she took off at 0955. She was 56 days old.
I really want to see this little one return to the nest. But, for now, relief and congratulations.
Take a good look.
Thank you for an amazing year Mum and Little Dewey. Without the female delivering fish, this would have been a very different outcome.
Thank you to the owners of the streaming cam for letting us witness this miracle amongst so many tragedies. Thank you ‘PB’ for alerting me. Heidi will be posting a video. Check out Joy of Ospreys FB.
