Iris lays 3rd egg…

I was so worried about P3 that this one slipped right by me. Iris and the New Guy now have their third egg, which arrived Wednesday night at 2237.

We keep all manner of information on our forms while studying osprey mortality. This shows the date and time of each of Iris’s eggs laid this season.

Thank you to the Cornell Bird Lab and Montana Osprey Project for their strreaming cam where I took my screen captures.
