Thanks, I knew you would relate to this. Susan and her dog were so much a part of Crooked Lake mornings, and it is a story well beyond that. Dixie lived a good life, and we were all so blessed by Susan and Dixies walks along the lake. Blessings to all. Dixie and her wildlife walks with Susan . Thanks for your comment. Susan will appreciate it. To know dogs is like no other bond we probably have. They truly are special.

She inherited the dog a sheltie mix after her sis died.

The photos were from Susan. As we shared are friendship. With dogs and her life on Crooked Lake

Thanks, fun to watch them, I need to edit this, as now after closely doing more frame by frame, when we had time, we do not think Whitley returned this year, but Noble did. Enjoy, they are special. This actually is the new female who won out over the others. She is a good one. Thanks for watching.

Hi LuvLivingAlways, It is complicated, but be reassured the monitoring group there are very committed, and following all nests closely in the area. This particular nest has a new male providing, new pair, so with that comes the usual, but there has been many other factors. Mom disappearing, young dad, weather, age, condition of the nestling. Trust them, wonderful organization. A site in my opinion, on the list of the best for helping with education going forward. Take care, nice to see you again.

@@sunnie057 Sunnie...thank you so much for your kind reply and sharing so much with me! It's wonderful to hear about such an awesome organization! I'm so grateful for this rescue🙏🏼 And, I'm grateful to you, Sunnie - always❤ Here's to our Osprey chicks all over the world...fly high and well, with good, long lives, dear ones☮🙏🏼😇❤

He has a second chance thanks to being monitored well . It never is easy to make these decisions for these birds, so much thought goes into it. He is in the best hands to perk him back up. So glad you care, and witnessed this. Very educational site, and glad to see what they are doing over that way. To provide the educational aspect needed, monitoring, and long term dedication for a better tomorrow. Nothing worthwhile is ever an easy road to travel. Thank all the volunteers over there. Awesome people.

Thanks @Alex. They are one of those neat pairs to be privileged to watch. Very bonded and mature. Wonderful fish supply, all one could ask for. We hope all goes well, but with Owls sharing the territory, we just keep our fingers crossed. Hope for the best and a fledge. Thanks as always.

Thanks for your heartfelt kindness. Although this nest has never experienced Owl issues, things like weather often impact predation. Nests success is a day to day thing. Be thankful and blessed with each one you see fledge. Hope is alive and well, and although sometimes nature can be painful, it also gives us a breathe of fresh air, in a complicated world. Treasure those times of pure joy

It was just truly heartbreaking. It was the first time I saw it. And after watching several of your videos of crooked Lake, it just hit me. But what you said is true Chin up🙏

💓👍

3 chicks! Will try to catch up on making a few videos. Thanks so much for watching.

@@sunnie057 👍🏼🙏🏼😇❤

Weather sure can be nasty sometimes. It is inspirational how they go on, such strength. Thankful for the nests that are surviving all of this. Prayers for all affected around this beautiful country we so treasure. Blessings your way, enjoy every moment with nature.💓

@@sunnie057 Thanks you, Sunnie...yes...we must carry on with prayers, and in celebration of all lives lived...enjoying this nature for them❤

Hugs to you, weather can be cruel sometimes and these nests although they have some weight, are so vulnerable to up drafts from incoming winds. We have lost several in my area, and it is a hard pill to swallow. But look at them, these birds, they shake it off, and go on. if only we could be this strong...It is inspirational. Bless you and your loving, caring heart, spread the faith. Be strong. Cherish each day and never look behind, always look forward and be thankful for another tomorrow...

@sunnie057 I know, I just hate it happens. No offense but I just couldn't watch the video, The title said it all and I had just watched the Eagles nest blow out of the tree. That was hard enough. I know everything you said is true and yes it is very hard but they do go on. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my comment.

@@lindaadelwerth8042 Many blessings your way. Thanks for your kindness and love of nature. Never stop enjoying the good times, share it, pass those good times on.

Thanks @donna9753. I am not aware of any donation sites there locally, but maybe send one in to your local wildlife rescue. They have been swamped with rescues. Weather certainly is such a threat to all birds nesting , and this particular last several weeks has been tough on both birds and ground species, with young right now. . Their persevverance is to be admired, but like you said, our hearts hurt for their efforts, blown away in these storms. Stay possitive and support all helping them. Hugs.

You truly need a life. Good luck.

@@frankrolls6834 sounds like you need one more do than I do

@@frankrolls6834 Couldn't have said it or chirped it better myself, Frank.

Overall this nest has had success since in this park, but weather is a number one threat to all nesting species. With my own monitoring , you can have bad years, extended for seasons, and fabulous years as well. It is a roll of dice, with the weather. Nests with some type of exterior supports, like logs, 1x2's do offer some help with wind. Wind can get underneath these nests and totally lift them off, as the bottoms are left with wire of all sorts for drainage. With that said, I have also seen entire poles completely snapped by winds and tornados. Nests blown and lifted out even with additional supports. (In person.) Ospreys nest in areas with a clear open view. Road signs, utility poles, and lights, snags, cell towers, cliffs, bouys, the ground, rooftops, etc.. It was very unfortunate, but they are not alone, many nests have been lost. I feel your heartache, as I too felt a sadness, and helplessness. We watch them, admire them, do all we can do to be good stewards, and raise and inspire hope for all who follow our footsteps, for their future success, for many years to come... Hugs...

Yes, all were informed of what happened, but I know from real time live nest monitoring experiences, an 11 day old chick cannot survive a fall. Both parents are alright, but a bit confused. Just a terrible tragedy, many nests have been lost with weather this last week. Thanks so much for caring.

​@@sunnie057 , Thank you very much for your reply and update, I'm glad to hear that the rehabilitation centers have been contacted about this. I was in the process to contact them from Belgium. Sorry for the loss of this little one, it's heartbreaking!

@@celianaturegirl2883 Unfortunately a chick that young cannot survive a storm like that, we have lost some here too. Take care, blessings your way.

@@sunnie057 , Take care too. My Greetings from Belgium.

Yes, mom has been observed. Thanks so much for your caring heart.

💖Fun to watch.

Thanks for watching, light hearted is always fun.. Enjoy, the seasons of life.

Thank you! For your kind comments. Blizzard is doing well.💖 Many blessings your way, Nature certainly is a gift, like no other....

Thanks Tim, lol, at least lots to watch snowed in for awhile!

Thanks @LuvLivingAlways. Happy New Year!

Takes time, thanks Tim. I am the lucky one, many along my corridor, but, you sure are coming along well over that way! Happy New Year!

Thanks Tim, was pretty, but my heart belongs to summer, after Christmas. 🤗 Love watching the wildlife all winter though, I am blessed.

It certainly is, enjoy ...and thanks for watching.

Amazing and fun pair to record. They get all the credit!💞

Hi mejesse809. Busy season with my monitoring and still working on a couple of new platform projects in the area. Wrapping up stats for the year, enjoying life. Thanks for asking, take care. Glad you enjoyed the video, always like to rewind on a couple in the Midwest, and this was a very good cam to observe this season. Younger pair successfully fledged a beauty! Hope all is well over your way.

Thank you for watching. I should have Part 2 done in a few days.

All is fine, cam is up. Power was out for a short time. Normally this does not happen there. Fireworks are an issue for sure.

Yes it is. They should be ashamed.
