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.”

        Isabella, my husband called me earlier today from his brother’s boat in Patchogue, at the harbor. They were watching a fight between 2 adult bald eagles and an osprey! One of the eagles landed on the osprey’s nest, high above on a cell tower, and the osprey went after the eagle. It went on for several mins, the osprey would not let up. The osprey managed to chase them off!

          Hi! My name is Nancy Heisner, and I live on Goose Creek in Southold. I’ve been following you all with great joy since the beginning of the season – what a wonderful distraction from all that’s going on in the world at this time!!

          I have a question which I’m hoping you might be able to answer… I have a non-working pole lamp (about 15’ tall) in my back yard down by the water, and I would so love to somehow extend it with a platform for a nest!! Do you think this would be possible, or am I ridiculous to even consider such a thing?? Am attaching a photo.

          • CarolV August 30, 2020 at 9:30 pm - Reply

            As interesting as that sounds, I would suggest you look in to this further. Have you been near any of the existing nests? I would imagine you need something really sturdy, as I think these nests get heavy…. and messy around them.
            But I’m not the one to advise you….. good luck!

            • CarolV August 30, 2020 at 9:34 pm

              And don’t forget us in the spring !!! Maybe we’ll have less drama and more success!

          • Admin Mary Anne August 30, 2020 at 9:30 pm - Reply

            Nancy, is that pole sunk deep into the ground? How sturdy is it? I don’t think that would be able to bear the weight of an osprey platform and nest before it tipped over, but I cannot really tell from the photo. Their nests become quite heavy. The posts should be able to support 300 lbs and more, you need a very sturdy post. There are instructions for making them on some of these web sites. Good luck! https://www.google.com/search?q=constructing+an+osprey+platform&source=lmns&client=firefox-b-1-d&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjH_7OWpMTrAhXGG98KHS6_CUgQ_AUoAHoECAEQAA

            The BE population has been steadily increasing on Long Island over the last 15 yrs. I saw one in Yaphank last year, an immature bald eagle at the Upper Lake. It flew right towards us from across the lake. Quite something to see, but I was wishing it had been an osprey!

            Isabella– there is a pair of eagles in Centerport by the Mill Pond Bridge. This is there third year. They have had 7 offspring. I have visited them a few times. The best time is in the summer when the eaglets fledge. Two of three this year have dispersed. The other one is still around. the fledglings have been able to catch fish almost immediately after fledging because the fish practically jump out of the water. It is on the north shore of LI.

            • Admin Mary Anne August 31, 2020 at 11:37 am

              There is a Facebook page for them called Bald Eagles of Centerport, NY. There are many photographers who post fantastic photos of that eagle family in the group for those who are interested.

      Took advantage of the revised page system (TY again, Aidan!) that allows us to look back in time…………. The first 100 + pages are comments and photos are introduced.
      I happened to pick a section that covered the passing of PeeWee. I was again shocked at the comments of people who should not be watching reality nature sites.

      I skipped ahead and hit the spot in 2016 when the youngest was being pecked bald by the older 2 sibs. I had forgotten about that! That kid was tough and a real survivor!

      Isabella and osprey zone chatters. I went to the Bayard Arboretum today. We saw the nest near the farm and walked to the river. At first there weren’t any ospreys. After a few minutes several came near us. One had a fish in his talons. The others were trying to catch a fish. They were very quiet not the boisterous voices we hear at this nest. I could recognize their brief calls. It was a beautiful day to visit the arboretum. There were a lot of trees and branches down that the workers were cleaning up. A big tree trunk fell into the water while we were sitting on a bench. It scared the swan that was right near the tree. It swam away unharmed.

          Isabella— The arboretum is quite relaxing and beautiful. I would walk there often if I lived close by. You are lucky that you go as often as you do. I might make it a place to go to relax, walk, and just enjoy the day. It is around a half hour from my house. Not too far to go now that I know about it. I love that as chatters we can share places and ideas.

      If anyone is interested, there’s a difficult situation in California, as I’m sure you all know about the wildfires. They are directly impacting Expore’s condor nestcam and other cordor chicks in the area. Here’s some info on the situation. The outcome has not been determined. The post contains a video of the current nest as well as a video of a previous nest threatened by fire.
      I am not promoting donating….. it’s just included in the copied post.

      It’s such a shame that another successful reintroduction project can be so threatened. This is not the only nest in the line of fire…. literally

      Update- 8/21/2020 @ 1730
      The Dolan Fire burned through the Condor Sanctuary in Big Sur last night and into the early morning hours, apparently cutting off the Condor Cam stream, which is provided by Explore.org. Two cameras were operating at the time. We watched in horror as the fire burned just outside the nest cavity where Iniko, the baby condor, is being raised in a giant redwood tree as well as seeing the destruction of the release site and pen. https://disq.us/url?url=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutu.be%2FUMeKdCkOrZc%3AAhBHbw4IOF5qt191a0olpZ3gZJw&cuid=1407162
      We are reminded though, that we have been through wildfire before and so have the condors https://youtu.be/dXiVszDf5_o.
      This year, we have eight chicks in wild nests in central California alone and five of these are jeopardized by the wildfire. Whatever facilities are destroyed we can replace and nothing will stop us from continuing to restore condors to the wild.

        Isabella—what a sight to see. I figured once they fledge, you wouldn’t see them. Glad you got to see this. I still have time to go there. Maybe next week.

        What fun! You picked a good day, too. The young are still around.
        My sightings are so up close. They like to just circle above this area, sometimes, calling to each other…. always know that call!!!!

      George came in mantling; the reason drops down from the perch…… Jane sits in corner, chirping quietly.
      She walks around, as if checking under that mantle to see what he’s hiding….

        @18:50, George brings a fish…. on the small side….. He waits about 10 mins. and starts nibbling
        When Jane comes in, she sits for a few minutes then hops up next to him. He keeps eating and she’s not showing any interest. She takes off soon and he finishes up before taking off.

          George popped in for his sunset shot and went to the perch…..

          After about 25 mins., he took off for the night.

      George had a busy morning….. bring it in and find a spot…….. mostly good sized sticks, too

        This has one end stuck on the perch……. George was determined to bring it in but couldn’t get it…..

              General sprucing up and then he’s heard but not seen….. may be on perch but sounds a bit farther away at times……

      Very lucky this happened after fledging. Hope they take a look at what some other power companies, such as PSEG or Newfoundland Power are doing to discourage the birds from replacing the nest in the same spot.

      Streaming issues with the video again, overnight. Parts of video missing between 2:50ish and about 7:30. Right now, there is a shaded pic with the dreaded circle of doom.

      Just managed to catch a pic of someone being swarmed by fairies……. and a beautiful sunrise

        Decent sized chuck, Jane takes with her usual graciousness and heads off………..

            • CarolV August 19, 2020 at 7:29 pm

              @17:28…. George brought in a still flipping fish… possibly a blackfish. Hard to see it’s dark color against the nest. No Jane, he took it upstairs and polished it off before Jane showed up’

              By the time, Jane came in, George had nothing for her but a greeting and a smile.

            • Isabella August 19, 2020 at 11:30 pm

              This is what I saw when I peeked in…..then this…George?
              Thanks for the pics of the day CarolV!….love Jane’s wing shot in the golden hour

      George brings a fish… @12:07…. he jumped to perch, then popped down as Jane arrived.
      Jane was in guard mode and yelled at some pest…. can we speculate who? or whom…
      She gets back to business and moves in on George. He had a pretty tight grip so there was a bit of a tug….
      Off she goes….

      It’s been raining on the south side of the Island for several hours. Even thunder …. looks like OZ having some too. Ch.12 weather now showing large patches of heavy rain over the ocean, so much of it is missing us.

      There were issues with the timeline…. the 12 hr. scrollback goes more than 18 hr. Watching the early morning, there were repeated jumps of 5 mins. or more. But I got some clear shots of Handsome G and it seems OK now.

      We have G and an unknown…….
      George and the dawn…..

          He clipped off pieces with his beak, placing them carefully …….
          Satisfied with his efforts, he took off.

      George comes in; Jane follows……

      They have an osprey hug; sit together closely, on the edge; Both fly out.

      George stops by once more; delivers seaweed and does some rearranging before going.

      So clear and pretty…love when the water sparkles….this is the cleanest I remember the nest….think may be due to less people being out and about beginning of pandemic…..I will invent a phase…pandemic clean!

      Then there was this that was closer and blew out the pic! That made me jump just watching!

      Looks like the other woman is haunting the nest…. She’s been in and out and even followed him back when he brought a stick.
      George looks like he wants a way out and finally just got out of Dodge.

        We had a noisy scary t-storm last night. The kind of thunder that crackles and booms and goes on for what seems like forever…… Fortunately, it moved through quickly. The rain fell in buckets….. hmmm… that’s a visual……

        Skimming thru… looks like lightning extended over about 15 mins. here

      George brought in a fish…. he was in and out a few times til Jane showed up.

        BOTH ends have been trimmed…… still a nice chunk left……………………………………………………………. Jane leaves with a nice seaweed tail trailing behind.
        George was watching the sight as she must have circled around
