July 6. Update from Janie Veltkamp of Birds of Prey Northwest, on the two chicks rescued from the Ontario Street nest July 4 (see that post below for details). The chicks are now in the care Veltkamp’s group at BOPNW: The young osprey chicks are 2½ and 3 weeks old. Initially upon admission they were in shock and hungry. Remember, they spent an afternoon and a night without parental care after their parents perished.
They are stable now and being fed every 2- 3 hours. On Saturday they will go in with the foster parent osprey here at Birds of Prey NW. Special thanks to Dennis at Bestway Tree Service, Chris Bessler, Judi Lundak and her daughter Mya Jinright for the critical roles they played in the rescue. We were charged $2.

Janie Veltkamp. Excecutive Director, Birds of Prey Northwest. July 4. There are two nests atop light standards at Memorial Field, and on July 3 tragedy struck the nest across the field beside Ontario Street, when the two parent birds apparently collided while possibly defending their nest from an intruder – and both were osprey parents were killed. With two very young chicks in the nest, Janie Veltkamp and volunteers with Birds of Prey Northwest organized a rescue early this morning with the help of the Sandpoint Parks and Recreation Department and Bestway Tree Service with its tall bucket truck.

The 2. 01. 7 season at the nest is well under way now, with osprey watchers predicting the first chick likely to hatch out within the next few days. The ospreys, who have been dubbed Pete and Sandy, returned from their southern migration between April 4 and April 7, and after a very industrious few weeks of nest building their first egg came on May 1. Sadly that first egg slipped below some of the nest material where the ospreys cannot reach it to incubate or rotate it properly, raising concerns it likely won’t be viable. But a second egg arrived the night of May 5, and a third egg the night of May 9, and the osprey have carefully tended those to date. April 1. 9, nest construction under way.

Thank you! June 2. Ospreys with surviving chick on June 2. The 2. 01. 6 season has been eventful. The first osprey was spotted at the nest on April 3; the first of three eggs came on April 2. May 3. 1. But since then the ospreys have experienced adversity. Watch The Way Home Online Earnthenecklace.
Biologist Janie Fink Veltkamp, director of Birds of Prey Northwest, provided the following comment: This year the Memorial Field Osprey pair laid three eggs; one did not hatch, but two did. Unfortunately, just this week, the youngest died after exhibiting symptoms of problems. The remaining chick remains vigorous and healthy. One way to view these events is that a ‘biological insurance policy’ is in place to help insure survival for the remaining youngster, which now has no remaining competition for food and parental attention. As young chicks all over North Idaho are continuing to develop the parents will be busy shading their young from the intense high heat temperatures predicted for this coming week.

They were first spotted at the nest on April 5 and immediately began their nest renovation. The female laid three eggs by May 1, and the first hatched on June 3. All three chicks survived and fledged by July 2. In the three previous seasons since the cam went active in 2. Chief Hopkins at the nest platform. After the chicks fledged they continued to stay near the nest through August as the parents initially continued feeding and the young ones were learning their own fishing skills. The ospreys departed for their southern migration in September.

THANKS once again to Westside Fire and Chief Hopkins. The ospreys will be returning in early April 2. Meantime, we will keep the cam live this winter with views of our town. Be sure to check back when you want a live picture from Sandpoint – and especially in April, when we’ll once again welcome the ospreys back to North Idaho.
July 3. 1Capture from July 2. It’s been, so far with fingers crossed, the most successful year yet at the Memorial Field osprey nest since the installation of the web cam three seasons ago. The attentive parents have kept their chicks well fed and tended, and this week all three fledged – the last on July 2. That means the first chick fledged about 1.
August 5. Now that all three chicks can fly, they’ll not always be at the nest – but they will be returning frequently for a while yet for meals and snacks, while they master flying and learn their own fish- catching skills. Meanwhile, as the annual Festival at Sandpoint concert series kicks off its two- week run this week, we will be aiming the cam to both watch the ospreys plus catch some of the action on the field below.

Her reply: Panting by the chicks provides a cooling factor. The osprey have been challenged by high heat this season with triple digits predicted yet to come.
