Look for return in early April and eggs in mid to late April There was a torrential rain storm - 4-6 inches in less than 24 hours and almost 8 inches before it was over; Mom did her best to keep the chicks warm and dry, but it wasn't enough. Rest in peace, little ones. ♥ |

Look for return in mid to late March and eggs in mid to late April Ron No apparent cause for the loss of the youngest chick; there had been bad weather when it was very young which may have left it weakened, and it is hard for the smallest one to compete for food. Rest in peace, young one. |

Look for return in mid to late April and eggs in early to mid May Nisos, Zed & Rosie The male was last seen at 6:47 pm on August 12, just before one of the worst hailstorms on record; he was an excellent provider over the years, so we believe he died in the storm. The female and chicks survived the storm, but no food was brought to the nest for the next two days - probably because the female's role is to feed the chicks the fish the male provides; the female spent a lot of time on the nest during those two days, while the recently fledged chicks practiced their flying skills. At 11:07 am on the morning of August 15, the female delivered a small fish to the nest; one chick arrived right before her, and ate the fish. Mom brought another fish at 6:14 pm, when all three chicks were on the nest, then a third at 9:13 pm. And from then on she became the sole provider for another month, becoming so proficient that she was sometimes able to eat the fish that were left over after the chicks had fed, and there were often leftovers after a meal. |

Look for return in mid to late March and eggs in mid April Capt. Kidd & Lola No way to know which egg didn't hatch, but the three days before the third hatch suggests that might be egg #3 that didn't hatch *Last reported sighting of three chicks was August 5, but there were cam issues so later visits by all three may have been missed; there were actually four chicks on the nest a couple of times on August 4 and 5 - so I suppose it's also possible that one of these chicks left with the neighbors. |

Look for return in mid-March and eggs in the first half of April Great horned owls took over the nest in 2011, and laid two eggs which they subsequently lost, perhaps due to inexperience. 2012 - the chicks were predated by great horned owls, |

adults Iris (named for unusual pattern in eye) & Stanley Blue 73/Crown Royal (F) Look for return in early to mid April and eggs in late April to early May The male either didn't return or disappeared after a brief visit; the female prepared the nest on her own, chasing off anyone who stopped by (not certain if some were potential suitors) and laying an almost certainly infertile egg; a new male appeared and brought her a fish on May 6, and while it took a bit of time, she accepted him as her new mate and they mated (or at least bonded) on May 8 |

An attempt was made to put transmitters on the chicks after they fledged (I think on August 1st), but none were caught. All 3 chicks may have been in the area for a while after the last confirmed sighting; one observer thought he saw all three on August 10, but not at the same time so hard to confirm - and we know from other nests that one or more often learn it's safer to stay away from the nest, and beg fish from Dad near the river or wherever he fishes. Look for return in early April and eggs in late April |

Look for return in early April, eggs in late April *I couldn't find reports after August 3; all three were looking good then, and at least two had fledged; they also had cam issues, making it harder to know what happened. |
