All three osprey chicks at Salt Point have officially fledged as of yesterday! They will still use the nest as a home base until mid-September and have much to learn until then—the finer points of flying and fishing.
The middle chick (Paulie), made numerous attempts to land on the tops of trees that would not support him and missed the platform on several landings, but he'll get it together. They are quite entertaining to watch.
