IMPORTANT: Messages from osprey experts

Rob Bierregaard July 1, 2015 at 7:24 am
I haven’t seen the little guy yet this morning, but I would be very surprised if he survived the night. That sure was tough to watch yesterday, but that whole process is as much a part of the essence of being an Osprey as is eating a fish. It’s part of the life of Ospreys that was rarely seen before we started putting cameras in nests. As hard as it is, we should not label the behavior as mean or cruel. Being mean or cruel implies that there is intent to do harm just for harm’s sake. Those young were responding to a set of stimuli (very little food being delivered to the nest and the presence of a very small young) in a way that evolution has hard-wired into them. It helps ensure their survival. Nature is not cruel. It is harsh, unforgiving, and often random (had the little guy been born 1st, he would have been just as aggressive as was his sibling), but not cruel or mean.

Thanks Rob for bringing your knowledge and experience to help us all gain perspective here. We are all saddened by the events that unfolded before our eyes and it’s only natural for all of us to feel and express our emotions appropriately. There have been many issues pertaining to intervention which have been discussed amongst us all. There is no doubt in my mind that the right decision was made, to let nature take it’s course. By the way, that doesn’t equate to heartless, on the contrary, nobody feels worse about this then the apparent decision makers. I say apparent, because when all was said and done, and all the issues were properly weighed, there really weren’t any other options. It was clearly pointed out, by experts, that intervening at this stage could have spooked the whole nest to the point of losing all the young. If the little one was saved, and nursed back to health, what kind of a life would it have had, perhaps caged up in a zoo. I remember when I was younger I saw a golden eagle in captivity, caged behind a wire mesh. I could practically see it’s tears. As far as placing the little one in another nest, such a low probability of success would never have justified the possibility of spooking the nest. There’s a piece of me, however heavy hearted, that believes that perhaps it is better to be born free and die free. We mourn for the little one as we marvel at the wonders of nature.

Hello Paul,

Thanks for your query, and you have my admiration for persevering. We know very well how tough your job is, including dealing with an anxious public.

Our policy with our Bird Cams project is essentially “just say no” to pleas for interference. The behavior you are witnessing – while seemingly cruel and heartless to us – is natural for many kinds of birds, especially those that feed on variable, unpredictable food supplies. The little nestling does have a chance to survive, but if it does not then that result was “meant to be” by the nature of Osprey breeding strategy. The wonderful things about these nest cameras also sometimes yield the difficult things for us to watch. As you might know, we actually post a “siblicide alert” on some of our cams where we suspect the possibility exists.

I’m copying your note to Charles Eldermire, project leader for our Bird Cams. He may have some additional comments, and he would be the one to ask if we might be able to use your stored files for biological analysis.

Best wishes, and good luck,

John W. Fitzpatrick

Director, Cornell Lab of Ornithology

In addition, Charles Eldermire, Bird Cams Project Leader, Cornell Lab of Ornithology Writes:

It’s also important to acknowledge that intervening can also cause problems of its own—depending on the ages of the birds in the nest, disturbing them can trigger an early fledge. We have restricted the scenarios in which we would even consider intervening to injuries or dangers that are explicitly human-derived. For example, 3 or 4 years ago we were alerted by viewers that one of the osprey chicks at the Hellgate Osprey nest was entangled in monofilament line. We consulted with our partners there (wildlife biologists, raptor researchers, raptor rehabbers) to determine if the monofilament was an issue, and if intervening was both likely to solve the issue AND not have bad effects on the other nestlings. In the end, a quick trip to the nest was scheduled via a bucket truck, the monofilament was removed, and the nestlings all eventually fledged. In that case, all of the permits were already in hand to be studying the ospreys, and we had already discussed how to approach issues in the nest.

Good luck to the young one—hope it all turns out well.

Paul,

I’ve been to your site—great cam! And I noticed the runt in the nest. This is just normal Osprey reproduction. It happens all the time and you should not intervene. It’s tough to watch, but it’s how nature works. Ospreys almost always lay 3 eggs and on average fledge between 1 and 1.5 young each year. They stagger the hatch so there is a spread of ages in the young. That way, if food is short, the first-hatched (and therefore largest) will get enough food to survive while the smaller nest mates do not. If all three young were the same size and there was only enough food for 1 young, none of the young would get enough food and they would all die. If there’s lots of food, the smallest will eventually get fed and can survive. These nest cams can show some gut-wrenching scenes. The most infamous perhaps was one of the very first Osprey cams (on Long Island somewhere), where the smallest young died. One of the adults carried it out of the nest and after several minutes flew back into the nest and fed it to the other young. Waste-not-want-not at its goriest. At Hog Island up in Maine just last week a Bald Eagle came in and took the young out of the nest. Last year at another nest, cameras documented a Great-horned Owl taking young Ospreys out of a nest in NJ or MD. All of these things have been going on for millions of years and Ospreys are doing fine.

“Interesting. They don’t often take over osprey poles—probably too small for them. They will coopt tree nests, which they can expand. We had a pair of eagles do this on the Vineyard. They built up the Osprey nest a lot and then the Ospreys came home and drove the eagles away, in a David v. Goliath story. The Ospreys successfully bred. They looked tiny in the nest, which sadly blew down this winter.”

        It’s funny, every time I checked in today, feeding was happening! Which I was happy to see!

        18:56 feeding….. I couldn’t figure out WHAT was being fed until I scrolled back to see Jane has the fish stuck in an odd shaped piece of wood. Didn’t seem to slow her down! She eventually worked it back out.

      Hello everyone. The nest right now looks like Fort Knox. It is barracated. Lol. I cannot even see Jane, George or the babies. I saw a shadow of one of them. It tickles me. I am so glad that the chicks are healthy and growing.

        Every time someone moves some wood away from the lens and we can see, someone (usually George) brings something new…. I’m starting to think he does it on purpose!

        Hi Elaine!…. I didn’t watch the nest between breakfish and supper….so I didn’t see Fort Knox…and I don’t have 12 hour look back……the chicks are healthy and growing fast!….such good appetites….if the fish saw them eat…they would swim the other way! Lol

      As you can see, the fog is in, over the water. Looks like rain is done, but clouds will hang around all night. About 70 now and clouds will help hold the warmth, making it about 66 near dawn.

      I was especially glad to see that dinnerfish…. Jane has been checking out the sea robin leftovers but I don’t think she liked it. I was happy to see her put it down. I hope someone buries it, along with whatever looked like a possible hook in it.

        Went back to watch the sea robin meal. They all had no problem eating the meat ! It’s rare that the adults start taking apart the carcass without starting at the head. Wonder what it is about a sea robin head that makes them stay away from it???

          George was back, expecting leftovers, but Jane and the kids had demolished it … I think the very tail-tip was left over on the right. George tried to sneak around Jane but she blocked him. He made it, finally, but I’m not sure if there was anything there!

          Isabella.. only saw that hook for a time when the head was moved around.. as in pic I posted by my question to Mary Anne. The ones where the eyeball shows are not the ones where I see it most clearly
          While it’s possible someone might throw a fish back with a hook in it (there are careless, thoughtless people ) it would be more likely a case of a broken line or someone cutting a line when the fish and line became snagged. Especially if they knew the fish was a sea robin, an undesirable catch and not worth the effort

          And I would much rather it be a piece of grass…. and not worry!

        That’s a sea robin for sure. Used to go fishing for flounder and fluke with my Dad. Whenever we caught a sea robin unintentionally, we’d throw it back. Called them “trash fish.” Inedible as far as we were concerned. Put up a good fight though!

              Chick 2 was getting a good feeding…than George wanted the fish

            • Isabella June 25, 2019 at 4:10 am

              Jane kept feeding while George pulled on fish

            • Isabella June 25, 2019 at 4:15 am

              Chick two seemed to want more….and chick 1 roused from his fish stupor

      Popped in just long enough to see feeding which makes me happy!
      On phone so I don’t get involved!

      See what we can achieve when we believe??? (hey, poem!) video has been running 1/2 hr.! But don’t startle it! I’m typing quietly…….

      George brought some seaweed. He and Jane had a chat before she flew out.
      When Jane returned, she brought a wood chip— which admittedly LOOKS big– and put it one a junior, introducing them to the family custom of “planking” each other. She took it right off….

      Wish I could hang around to see if a late fish arrives. Sounded like that was Jane’s request. HAGN, everyone.

      Jane and one of the juniors enjoying a quiet moment…
      Video Stays on just long enough to give hope and just rips the rug right out from under you! Cruel internet or what ever! Looks like on and off all day.

      Wonder if that roundish chunk on the log pile is wood or some kind of spongy plant product? Hmmmmm…

      It’s clouding over as I post @6:30. Temp about 78…. dropping to about 66 by dawn under overcast skies. Increasing likelihood of rain, starting 7-8 am. Temps holding in low 70s all day
      Everybody, have a good night and hope for the internet fairy to tap OZ with a magic wand…… what did they do in Peter Pan.to bring Tinkerbell back???? Hold hands and just keep saying “I believe!!!” ? I’m imagining holding hands with you all and believing we will be back tomorrow…

      Are we going to get the cam back soon? Thanks all. Find it interesting that we get more comments/info on facebook than OZ lately….Love it!

        Hi Patty, we have no idea. Only that is an internet issue and that it is nothing that Aidan can fix on his end. If I hear anything else, I will let everyone know right away. As far as the Facebook group is concerned, they don’t know any more there then they do here, as I post updates there also and I told them the same thing.

      Hi all, Shelli has been in contact with Aidan, regarding the live stream problem. It’s not on his end. He said it’s an internet problem that hopefully will resolve itself soon. That’s all we know. I know it’s hard to wait, as we love watching this little osprey family. Thanks for your patience. Mary Anne

      As of 6:32 pm, it’s been live streaming for about just about 35 mins so perhaps the issue has been resolved, we shall see!

      The live stream has been mostly frozen as you know. I told Shelli about it last night, hopefully it is up and running soon.

      Looks like we’re having issues. Up and down a few times.

      At least the last time we saw something, chicks were being fed

      Checking back at :59

        Was up and down a couple of times, but stuck again….
        calling it a night,
        About 77 in OZland, 71 by my house… (we’re closer to ocean)
        Clear skies have temp dropping to about 62 by dawn….. sunny morning giving over to some cloudiness in afternoon. Temps. high 70s.

        HAGN!.

      18:02…. George is in with dinnerfish….. Big one! Looks like he had a share. After all, he was busy with construction and worked up an appetite…

      • CarolV June 23, 2019 at 6:56 pm - Reply

        Jane took it and backed up a bit…. thought the kids were coming after her!
        Both kids were fed, with good sized chunks. 1 is slightly better and quicker at taking them, which may be why it appears he gets more. 2 was right in there and I didn’t notice any jostling.

        • CarolV June 23, 2019 at 6:59 pm - Reply

          I think the kids quit before Jane, which is a good thing…..

          Jane cleaned up around — and off– the kids before settling in.

      Jane was to the right, being a good tail-brella and doing some stretching exercises…..

        ….when George arrived with one of his STICKS!……. Watch out chickies!
        It looked like he struggled to lift it to the perch…. guess he wants to enlarge the second story! I mean, they’re so close together now, why not create more living space?

            • CarolV June 23, 2019 at 4:42 pm

              And he couldn’t leave it alone…… not sure if it went up or out. but he’s still fiddling with something up there….

      OK… that scared the crap out of me! Last I looked, both chicks were nodding off on the right……

        looked back minutes later, and a head popping up out of the straw…..

        Was relieved after rewind, that I saw one of them slide through the straw to pop up here……. was ready to start shouting “It’s a miracle”

      14:40…. Next course…
      #2 seems to be a little feisty…. taking snips at #1…… assuming 1 is the bigger one on the right.

        2 worked his way around 1 for a better angle….

        (glad I checked page #s and saw next… thought I had lost a post!)

          When I tries dominating 2, 2 just scoots forward closer to Jane….. clever little one!….
          Jane seems to be feeding longer and more patiently….. settling in to a rhythm.

            1 had a hunk of fish dangling from the tip of its beak…. very convenient for 2 to snatch…

      Nice to see those feathers open for venting and rippling in a breeze… temps are hitting 79.
      Looks a lot better than when she was shut down like armor, with puddles on her!

      CarolV, Isabella, and everyone else, thank you for your thoughts on Baby 3,.Isabella, for your information. We all know what we get ourselves into when we watch this live cam. We know about survival of the fittest. We are however, human and we have feelings about this death. I can say I am now watching again, after taking yesterday afternoon and evening off. I love George and Jane and am trying my best to love the two babies. We are so privileged to have this intimate look at a family doing their best. I hope the rest of the summer is wonderful like last summer.
