    A job well done. My heartfelt thanks to the brave rescuers. I have come to love this osprey family and I look in on them several times every day. I’m glad that they are happy and safe again.

    I finally got a chance to sit down and watch the rescue video and all I can say is WOW! This was truly amazing! The babies have gotten so big and to see how they allowed someone to come so close was heartwarming. Thank you Paul and Tommy for this awesome footage!

    The final version of the rescue is excellent. Nice job! Just wondering if they wouldn’t mind going up again and putting name badges on them. I can never tell which is which. LOL.

    I have learned so much about Ospreys from this website. There are many Osprey web cams on the Internet but this has been the most educational and interesting one that I’ve found. Congratulations!

    I was so happy to see such a wonderful rescue of an Osprey in distress. To all of the people who took action to help in a kind and compassionate manner I say a very heartfelt ” thank you.”

    Awesome updated rescue video – kudos and many thanks to all! I am a fan of the peregrine falcon U of Pitt web cam and was delighted to move onto the Osprey Zone site for non stop live bird viewing March – August! Best regards and thank you, Tommy.

    I just saw the osprey rescue and what a great job they did to help those young juvenile Ospreys . I guess this can happen in a lot of osprey nest where one of them gets tangled in something but you cannot have cameras every where. But they did have a camera on this nest.

    Thank you, thank you. A clean nest and camera lens is a magnificent thing.
    None of the birds seem to be even annoyed by your presence which surprised me.

    Thanks to all involved. I’m surprised at how well it was handled without the birds getting flustered. A big thanks to Paul.

    It was a wonderful surprise to check back into the Ospreyzone and to see that highlight video of the rescue. My hat goes off to those involved in that rescue….I am grateful for the Ospreyzone as it really gave me an insight and my grandkids as well a firsthand look at Mother Nature at her finest. God Bless

    When did the third baby die?

      Back in the beginning of July. A bit of sibling rivalry.

    • Monica August 5, 2015 at 8:28 pm - Reply

      Not sure when the runt died. He was basically pecked to death by the other two. Apparently that’s normal behavior for ospreys. Nonetheless it was heart wrenching to watch. 🙁

    Thank you so much to all the people who helped in freeing the bird’s leg. And many thanks to Paul Henry who set up the stream to allow us bird watchers the opportunity to view the chicks.

    Someone asked what the “white round thing” was in the video… There were numerous shells in the nest. Since they’re not man-made I left them there. I did not see any remains of the third chick.

    • Monica August 1, 2015 at 5:53 pm - Reply

      Hello Jim, thanks so very much for all you did!! I’m curious – was that the first time you did an osprey rescue?! I was also wondering if there were any remains of the little runt. Poor thing! But, I’m so happy the chicks were untangled. So, was the other chick tangled in that red twine as well?

      • Jim MacDougall August 1, 2015 at 10:29 pm - Reply

        This was my fourth osprey rescue. I’ve also done great horned owl, red tailed hawk, swan, cormorant, loon, deer, opossum, fox, seagul, and a few other animals. This was the first time in a bucket truck though. I did not see any remains of the third osprey. I cleaned up all the junk I could find and there were no osprey remains.

    I was so happy that I was watching when the ‘rescue’ started. And I called my nephew over to watch it with me as it took place. He had just walked in and asked me about “our ospreys.” Later on last night I rewound and watched it all over again. Love it!! THANK YOU all so very much for doing this, Paul!!!

    Wow! If that was the “down & dirty” I can hardly wait to see the final version. Fantastic! Does anyone know what the white round thing in the middle of the nest was? I was wondering if it was remains of the little guy;

    Luckily for me, i had tuned in yesterday at precisely the time the rescue was to start; but i wanted to see these highlights anyway. Such wonderful cooperation to pull this off. “The gloved one”, who ever he is, was efficient and industrious and gentle. Lucky birds!!! I thought the adults would have been dive bombing the nest, worried about their talons hurting the rescuers. Luckily, the Chicks themselves just “chilled” and let the work be done.
    I echo all the other bloggers who say WELL DONE!! and THANK YOU and isn’t it a delightful moment to see humans helping out these ospreys; the ospreys that give us so much joy as they wheel and call in the sky!!

    “Thank you” just does not seem enough. Both chicks would have died, had this intervention not taken place. God bless everyone involved. It’s just amazing!
    (I, too, will never complain again about PSEG; well, I can’t promise that, ha-ha.)

    I thought I heard Gracie yesterday calling in the background and listened to her again in this video. She is a super mom! This rescue gets more intriguing each time I watch it. This was special as we get to see the heroes! Thanks for the rescue efforts and the superhuman effort of getting this video together so quickly!
