Sometimes life gets in the way…it had been awhile since I was able to return to the summer place in Gimli and check on Osprey.
What I surprise when I seen 1 of 2 chicks on the edge of the nest testing it’s wings…they sure grow fast.

Just a Little Stretch
Cooper’s Hawk…perhaps the most quiet of all raptors. They can be found nesting in parks and on residential streets through out Winnipeg. They prey on small song birds and mammals and often seen perched around yards with bird feeders where they sit and wait for prey.
On a side note…the young love to use puddles and birdbaths to bath in.
This juvenile was just doing some stretching.
Joli…Action During Banding
I can always expect lots of action from Joli ( my Logan Sweetheart ) as she defends her site and chicks during banding.
After the loss of one of the chicks we had placed another chick that had gone down from another location into the Logan site for fostering.
Everything fell into place and Hart and Joli accepted the new chick as their own…to date all the chicks are up and flying and doing well.
