May 2, 2018 - Hatchling deceased
On the morning of May 2, after several hours of inactivity in the nest bowl, the youngest Osprey chick appears to have died. Ultimately the cause of death is unknown; however, it’s most likely that the chick succumbed to lack of access to food or to injuries incurred from sibling aggression over the past few days. While it is unfortunate to witness such an event, nestling mortality is not uncommon in wild bird nests. In Ospreys, older siblings have a higher survival rate than younger siblings, and nestling mortality is higher for the first 2-3 weeks after hatch during the peak period of growth. Despite the loss of their youngest chick, the adults still have a chance at having a successful breeding season, and we hope that you continue to watch and learn along with us as they work to raise their oldest nestling to fledge.
June 11, 2018 - First fledge

Over May 12-14, at least one aggressive osprey attacked and harassed the resident pair and nest. Following these attacks, the nestling appeared listless and didn't respond to the parents' attempts to feed it, indicating that it may have been injured during the interactions. Unfortunately, the nestling succumbed to its injuries and died.
