For one reason or another there hasn’t been as much time as I would like at the summer place and checking Osprey. Lucky for me there’s the Urban Pair here in Winnipeg which is mere minutes from home.
With two chicks up and flying and testing their wings often…so how do you know a chick from an adult some may ask.
Osprey juveniles are born with Red Eyes which will turn yellow like the adults.
All the tips of their feathers are fringed in cream/white which will turn dark brown.
I find the mornings the best time for action when it’s cooler and the light more favorable.
