I made a post on FB and these were their responses....

Somebirdie is close to being knocked out of the nest by wingercizing.


1)not close enough!

2) Audrey is doing her best to let this latest visitor know that he/she needs to move on, but they're not taking her many hints!!!

3)Audrey finally succeeded! And then it tried to circle and land again and she prevented it from doing so.

So much wingercizing, I feel strongly there WILL be a fledge today. And the glove is becoming like a security blanket, oops, I mean glove. ;D

Neither Maine nor Montana has fledged. Only chicks and Audrey at the nest.

Yes, we noticed that this morning too. Osprey are notorious for bringing miscellaneous items into the nest!

Phew!!!

Yes, it is a glove for the left hand. Strange!

 ??? ??? ??? I just checked this site and became alarmed. Something that looks like a hand is visible. Looked on their FB and someone said it looks like a glove is in the nest. That description sounds better. At least I now know it isn't my imagination.  :P

Maine, Montana and ET jolt when Audrey arrives with a thud. Startled me too! Lots of wingercizing happening.

With the advent of fledgetime near, I watch this site often. I have enjoyed my first time viewing ospreys.  ;D

Since I'm curious about the sex of Maine and Montana, based on their size, I have posted this question to the CC. Both look like females to me.

Breakfast is being served and there is a full house. On their site, many are suggesting the two fosters are close to fledging. :(
