General Information

Last Seen on the Nest Cam (in date order):

Naha:  Sun 08/25/2024 07:18am, bringing in a huge trout (however locals note she was present that day in the area)
Toketee:  Sat 09/07/2024 10.52am (102 days old) Flying off with a big redtail surfperch
Tsee:  Sat 09/07/2024 11.44am (102 days old) Flying off the nest with a huge flounder
Bruce:  Tue 09/10/2024 7.03am bringing in a big stick.... leaves after a couple minutes
 

In our search for names from the old Chinook jargon (Chinuk wawa) of the indigenous people in this region, as previous seasons.

We have found two names that fit perfectly.... not so easy with two chicks born on the same day and who are so very much alike and close in looks:

So we have named our chicks:
TOKETEE (Pretty / Handsome / Graceful) for Chick #1, who is all of these things, as they both are.

TSEE (Sweet) for Little#2, who is definitely that, as they both are, both so much alike in every way!

01:24 Nabou La Sittelle Good morning Seaside. First chick at PLO (19:41)!
05:50 jewel lang Merci Nabou! First chick home safe, 🐣 ..... and one more on it's way it looks like!
05:51 Nabou La Sittelle Yeah! Good morning Jewel
05:52 jewel lang At last, such a loooong wait..... I so hope for twins there, such a blessing!
05:59 jewel lang Port Lincoln Osprey / South Australiahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n1W4J... ..... Roll back to 19.41, Mum helps the little one out of the shell
06:04 Nabou La Sittelle That would be great. It's true that Naha has done very well this season.
06:07 jewel lang On another note, Nabou, I see there is a significant hurricane heading for the Captiva area once again! Sometime around Tuesday I think..... holding our collective breath and crossing fingers!
06:10 Nabou La Sittelle Yes, it doesn't look very good, this hurricane should make landfall a little further south, on coasts already very weakened by the passage of Helen.
06:13 jewel lang Well, thankfully it is not quite yet nesting season there, although with all that new camera work I'll bet Conner has the willies!
06:20 jewel lang 0.00 Seaside Weather at 7am: 48°F/9°C... Precipitation: 2%... Humidity: 88%... Wind: 6 mph... Partly cloudy this morning giving way to a sunny day, hi of about 60F with light breezes
06:21 jewel lang We have created a source of history, news, and day-to-day happenings for this nest and it's birds.Seaside Osprey Info Board Website: https://seaside-osprey.com/
06:21 jewel lang Seaside Ospreys have migrated.... We are very grateful to have this chat during the off-season for discussion of this nest and it's birds, as well as other nests around the world.
07:14 Kristy A Hello Jewel, Nabou and good morning!
07:43 t vulture GM jewel, Nabou and eyebrows, Kristy? lol
07:45 Kristy A Hello T Vulture! Yeah the 2 brothers, over at Port Lincoln's eyebrows. lol
07:49 t vulture I'll have to pay more attention to eyebrows, vultures don't usually have them.
07:54 Kristy A Yeah that's why I like to go by when I can T Vulture!!!
07:57 Nabou La Sittelle Hi t vulture, Kristy
08:12 Kristy A Happy to see ya and Captiva up Nabou!
09:40 James 9:39 Scrub Jay visits nest
09:44 Kristy A Hello James! I love those, thanks!
09:46 James Hi Kristy
09:55 t vulture Hi, James - was that what the three were the visited earlier?
10:01 James Hi t vulture, if you mean during 7:49 I think those may have been Starlings
10:02 jewel lang Hi James..... good eye! Thanks.....
10:03 James Hi Jewel
10:04 jewel lang I guess those were starlings..... hard to tell with the sun glare.... a trio of friends!
10:05 jewel lang I have been staring at the new baby at PLO..... How sweet they are that first day!
10:06 James Have to savor it while you can. GH baby is growing so fast!
10:07 jewel lang Yes! BIG dinosaur now.... about to become a bird again......
10:09 James Was standing a couple of days ago, also been picking up sticks
10:10 jewel lang It seems to me that solitary chicks mature behaviorally a bit faster than those with siblings...... Zoe at PLO, River at Sandpoint......
10:11 James maybe
10:11 jewel lang I guess all they have to relate to is adults?
10:13 jewel lang In 2021 I saw the lone chick in a Wisconsin nest actually fly off the nest after the adult.... way too prematurely, sadly..... I think with siblings that might not have happened
10:13 James Dad there is definitely a homebody
10:13 jewel lang At Growing Home? He sure is!
10:30 Kristy A I love it when males are like that!
11:08 jewel lang The Seaside Osprey Nest Website: https://seaside-osprey.com/

16:36 Kristy A Golden sun.
19:18 t vulture No golden sun now - pitch black here! GN Kristy, jewel, James and all osprey.
20:05 Kristy A You know what I meant T Vulture. lol Sweet dreams to you!

At ​​7.11.28.... Low flyby under the nest, east to west..... osprey? Or gull?  Most likely a gull.....

At 9:08:15 whoever has been nearby alerting for quite a while flies over the nest.... shadow on the ground.  Sounds like a juvenile osprey.

NOTE:  It occurs to me that if the parents bring less fish, the chicks may be more likely to follow them around as they fish... lessons in how it's done, perhaps?

4:11 pm

NOTE: I believe the parents are introducing the kids to unfulfilled hunger.... Something they will get hit hard with when they migrate.... best to be prepared. This may help kick in the fishing instinct...  Here at the home nest, they won't starve with parents as backup. On the migration trail, they would starve unless they fish. Ergo: Learn to fish!

Bruce (S,Floppy)
5:48 am

Bruce hauls a huge flounder in, the big fish thrashing away... Toketee jumps on it and Bruce leaves. Toketee has her talons full!

Bruce (XL,Floppy)
6:07 am After not making much progress with her fish, Toketee flies off, leaving the poor fish gasping on the nest. Just too much for her to handle?
6:16 am Bruce flies in, grabs up the huge fish and flies it off the nest.... (Youthful voice in the close distance...) We have probably not seen the last of that flounder!
7:21 am

Toketee comes noisily in followed by Bruce with the now well-deheaded flounder. Toketee takes it and finally flies it off the nest. Ba-dump-bump!

8:57 am Bruce lands on the nest with.... a wad of wet leaves? I am noticing how bleached out his back and wing feathers are.... like last year. I wonder what does that? He flies off again...
10:35 am Tsee(?) flies in chattering
11:04 am Tsee flies off, screaming, around, then back again to the nest... (I think there is a flying fish in the neighborhood....)
11:15 am

Bruce flies in with another huge starry flounder.... Tsee sings and takes the fish to the east rim. Finally he gets a good grip and flies it out, flipping!

Bruce (XL,Floppy)
12:12 pm One of the kids flies back in, singing loudly to announce the landing..... (can't tell who at this point, might need the other here to ID!)
12:24 pm

Bruce flies in with another huge flounder.... Toketee(?) grabs it, sings thankyou, hooks onto the big fish, and starts nibbling

Bruce (XL,Headless)
12:31 pm

Toketee flies off to the northwest with her huge fish (which possibly is a redtail surfperch? The underside of a flounder looks VERY similar, including the pink tail....)

2:49 pm

Bruce flies in with a big beautiful lichen stick! Flying frm the west, he sees (and hears!) one of the kids coming, so he skedaddles just before Toketee lands on the nest....

3:47 pm

Bruce lands with a big partial fish.... After about an hour of singing the fish song, Toketee squeals her pleasure, tries to pry it from Bruce's talons, and finally gets her fish hung up in that lichen stick!  She sorts it out.....

Bruce (L,Part)
3:50 pm Toketee flies the fish off to the east, and peaceful silence reigns.....
6:11 pm Tsee comes in singing....

8:05 am Bruce flies in with the huge flounder from before, now deheaded, and drops it for Toketee, and leaves again.
8:16 am

Naha! She comes in with another fish.... nice to see her back again.....

(Every season, just before she migrates, she takes some time for herself away from the nest, then shows up just before she leaves for the season with a fish, and tries to feed the kids.... I wonder???)

Naha (M,Part)
8:33 am Toketee flies off to the northeast
8:37 am Tsee abandons his fish remnant, goes to nosh on the piece Toketee left, then flies off the nest with it. Naha remains, quietly eating her fish.....

9:26 am Naha(?) flies in with a partial fish.... The one she left with?
9:27 am

4:23 pm Toketee flies in to join in singing for fish
4:30 pm

Bruce brings in a big surfperch, flings it at the screaming kids and leaves! Tsee shoulders in and takes the fish, Toketee voicing frustration....

Bruce (L,Whole)
4:40 pm Tsee flies his big fish off the nest (maybe tired of hearing Toketee's song?) Toketee remains, ever hopeful for another delivery.....
5:29 pm

Finally, Bruce flies in with Toketee's supper.... a flippy floppy fish. Toketee mantles over it, and Bruce flies out.... She begins to eat.

Bruce (M,Floppy)
5:32 pm Toketee flies her fish out to the north.... along with a stick and some grass....
5:58 pm Toketee flies back in, done with her fish already.... singing for more?
6:01 pm Toketee off again, to the east....

Toketee flies back in just ahead of Bruce who totes a big headless flounder! Toketee takes it and sings her thanks as Bruce flies out again..... Now everyone is fulfilled!😁

8:13 am

8:52 am Tsee mantles, shakes and alerts sharply, looking up. Something up there is not to his liking! He tracks it around and around....

9:41 am

Ever faithful Bruce flies in with a fish, and a super hungry Tsee grabs it and mantles, singing in gratitude.... no idea what kind of fish, or how big.... too many wings in the way!  (​​Oh, looks like a small sized flatfish....)

REPORT:   After about 8 or 9 calls around, I finally got some news, not definitive when the elec will be restored.... They will check and fwd any info to me. But, I DID hear some really wonderful things: ​​Literally everyone there in Seaside that I spoke with says they watch the nest, and it is even broadcast in the schools! The kids are educated about how to see them in person at the park!  ​​Everyone I spoke to is very attached to the cammed nest... and also anxious to get back on line. Mostly folks watch it on the Necanicum Watershed Council site, with no chat. It is very highly valued! 

The not so good news is they have no idea when the elec will be back.... could be a long time. She will dig around and try to find out and call me. We only have our local reporters to lean on now...

Just heard from Darren (tech): "The park space will be without power this week, I finally got verification from the contractors that they shut it down yesterday morning as they are replacing the older light fixtures and rerouting some of the electrical lines. I know their timing couldn't probably be worse.I will keep you posted as I get updates." Thanks Darren, fingers crossed for reconnect!

So, I will keep this chat open, check in regularly, and please, any folks there locally who can fill in some of the blanks, we all would much appreciate that!

12:22:211

Tsee whom was being fed grabs the other fish in the nest and begins to eat it.

12:34:191

Tsee flies off the nest. (third flight, another quick spin)

12:58 pm Toketee revs up her rotors...
1:00 pm Toketee does a major helicopter, out of sight, seeing her shadow on the nest... Cool!
2:21 pm

Bruce brings in a nice trout, tsee takes it and drags it to the north rim. Bruce leaves, and Toketee stands by....

Bruce (M,Headless)
2:49 pm Toketee makes a move to take the tail half of the trout, crowding in close. 14.55 Tsee finally steps off the fish and Toketee takes it
3:47 pm Naha lands on the nest to a chorus of little voices.... she brings lichen!
4:22 pm

Naha in with a nice fish, Toketee(?) takes it to the south rim and starts in

Naha (M,Whole)
5:48 pm Lots of jibberjabbering from the kids toward Naha on the cam post. She finally hops down and explores the nest, finding no reason for all the comments... finally everything quiets...
6:20:041

TOKETEE "FLEDGED".... helicoptered high, came down on the edge of the rim and lost footing and flew off! An unintentional fledge (fludge!)  Tsee tracked her flight for a while.... Pre-fledge and Toketee Fledge Extended Video

6:45 pm Naha flies in
6:50 pm Naha is out again
7:07:301

Tsee flies off....  (Thanks Donald!)

7:37:071

That sounded like one of the kids' voices.... repeats several times.... and there Tsee is! One back..... and then off again!

7:39:401

Tsee in again....

7:43:551

August is down below....  She came to take a look around to see what is happening.

NOTE: Toketee did not return to the nest before dark, Naha is also gone, so they must be in a tree somewhere nearby.  Tsee flew in and out a couple times and is watching intently to the northeast..... August went to the park, could not get a visual, but heard voices from the area Tsee was watching.  Bruce perched in his tree by the nest..... 

Infrared Light is on now, we probably won't know any more until daylight comes.  Both chicks will be guarded by a parent I believe....

6:07 am A flock of geese passes by.... exciting the kids! 😂
7:40 am

Bruce in with a nice trout.... Tsee takes it, and Toketee would definitely love to have it too. Tug-o'-War! Toketee wins the fish, and Tsee tries to yank it back, and does!

Bruce (M,Floppy)
7:43 am Toketee grabs the fish again, and takes it back... Tsee watches closely for an opening.
7:45 am Tsee makes a play for the fish and Toketee protects it, mantles a bit, hides it from Tsee..... excellent move!
7:53 am Naha hops down from the cam post, Tsee runs to tell her his troubles... she doesn't interfere
7:55 am Toketee is surrounded now, Naha wants to feed both, and Tsee wants the fish!

Bruce in with a huge red tail surf perch! Naha takes it happily.

Bruce (XL,Headless)
1:04 pm

NOTE:  ​​I notice 2 things: The more these kids flap and catch air, the more comfy they feel perched on the very edge of the rim. And that has resulted in a flatter nest, the rims almost rail-less now..... natural seasonal evolution of the osprey nest!

3:40 pm

Bruce brings in a headless fish... Tsee(?) takes it with some trouble, as Bruce's talon got stuck. He takes it to the north rim, and protects it....

12:56 pm

Bruce brings in a nice sculpin for the fam.... Naha takes it and starts a feeding. Toketee steps up right away, Tsee is still engrossed gazing over the east rim.  Finally Tsee joins the party

Bruce (L,Whole)
1:28:341 A white bird glides low to the west of the nest.... then again at 13.29.04 Low and under the nest from east to west. Must be a gull? Flies like an osprey... our birds pay attention....
3:11 pm

Naha flies in all wet, with a nice trout(?)..... Toketee takes it, which seems to kinda confuse Naha.... I think she thinks the fish went over the edge, she peers down over the rim.   Tsee watches carefully from the rim.

6:39:551 +++ While Toketee is nibbling on the fish, Tsee gets a LOT of winger practice, including a nice flying hop across the whole nest!
7:05 am Naha in with some bright green moss... she finds a tiny bit of fish from earlier, and doles it out to the kids. Waiting for the "big one"....
7:11 am Naha is VERy unhappy about something/someone down below the nest on the east side....

Toketee presses Tsee for his turn at the fish.... Tsee turns away. Toketee circles around and tries again... and looks like he takes the fish, out of sight on the south rim

6:07 am

Toketee has finished the fish and joins Tsee and Naha on the north rim.  Looked like Tsee got the majority of the fish, but Toketee got a small meal too....  Can't tell for sure as it was mostly out of sight.

Animal Lover... ​​04:31:50AM...  Naha has a fish in her talons, and one of the chicks approaches her. Naha starts feeding.

6:15 am

Bruce flies in kicking up a snowstorm of down.... he has a flounder, nobody went for it, so he flew out again.... probably to prep it for the kids Today's TS Extended Video

Bruce (L,Whole)
6:22 am 2

I think Toketee has found a tiny remnant of this morning's fish that Naha left on the North rim... seems to be eating something

6:24 am After Toketee walks away from the fish bit, Tsee ambles over and fiddles with it..... Seems to be having success!
6:36 am Bruce in again with the starry flounder.... both chicks scarcely notice, Naha up on the cam post stays put.
6:45 am Naha hops down from the cam post and starts a feeding on the OLD piece of fish still there.... Bruce stands on his fresh flounder.....
6:46 am Bruce flies off to have his breakfish in a tree..... Naha feeds herself and Tsee, as Toketee is otherwise occupied
6:59 am Naha away kicking up a flurry of feathers like snow!
7:56 am An angry Naha alerts and uses her crow/duck voice, flying off and on the cam post. Maybe that eagle is nearby again?
8:13 am Toketee has a bit of fuzz/down sticking to his lower beak... looks like a goatee 😂

Bruce (L,Headless)
12:37 pm Bruce steps away and leaves the fish for the kids.... Tsee tries first. (Dog barking loudly below gets their attention!) Naha is on the cam post, fidgeting.....
12:54 pm

Naha hops down from the cam post, grabs the fish, and flies off circling the nest and back in to start an official "mama" feeding. (The kids had been doing pretty good, taking turns, but still!  Nothing beats a mother's touch!)

1:05 pm Feeding ends, kids turn away, Naha finishes the fish then gleans scraps.
1:10 pm Naha picks up a stick and then tries to find just the right spot for it, walking around clobbering kids right and left in the process..... finally, the east rim. Aaahhh.....
4:47 pm The kids have learned the fish song from Naha!

7:03 pm 7

12:47 pm Lots of alerting and flying off, kids pancaked, Naha using her crow/duck voice! What is going on??
12:49:521 Naha on the cam post screeching, there are crow wings at the edge of the video, so that is what's going on, I guess....
12:53:541 More crow wings to the right.... No fish on the nest, I wonder what their issue is?
3:33 pm

A very upset Naha is alerting on the cam post, using her duck/crow voice.... then flies off after something, screeching in the distance. Chicks are pancaked again....  ​​From the sounds and the shadows, she is chasing something(s) around and over the nest, fast.... I would guess crows

3:46 pm
