This morning, I thought I spotted something out of place as I looked back up toward the kill from the creek side of the land. On my circuit back up, I became convinced that it was an Osprey and sure enough, in all the tall grass, there was the bird. Spreading it's wings and crying out. I did another circuit trying to decide what to do and noticed another on high up in an oak tree.
I assumed it was the adult and this was the fledging and all would work out. But it all nagged at me, so as soon as I got home, I called Spirit Wild, Lake County's Wildlife Center. Sandie Elliott must have flown down from Cobb as I only beat her over there by about five minutes.
She feels that this bird is just not ready to fly by a couple of days, so she caged him up and took him off until he is ready to fly and then she will release him back to the land. The osprey up in the tree is also a baby! Yikes. What an adventure. More photos to come.
