Just too sad for each individual in nature's wild animal kingdom. Just a baby and almost grown. Only savings grace if any, is that unlike hawks who take forever to pluck their prey leading to a very long, painful ordeal, this wasn't as long even though this poor baby suffered.
I don't think people realize how territorial and aggressive owls are. I used to work at a wildlife rehabilitation center. As soon as owls fledge, they become territorial little freaks of nature that can and will RUN you down to attack your legs.
That's what they make shotguns for. I love nature but I draw the line if it attacks me. I have just as much right to be anywhere as much as any creature. And that includes Grizzlies. I have come to shooting Grizzlies before in Montana but so far I have managed not to shoot.
This information was posted somewhere in the comment section. The mother was found dead and the dad was keeping everything else up. Dad wasn't aware he needed to stay on the nest overnight because that's the mom's job. It's extremely sad.
After seeing about 300 videos similar to this, I wonder has anyone done research into whether the night observation lights and camera movements/noises attract predators to these nests? It's almost as if you've put a spotlight on them in the center of an otherwise dark forest and in neon lights have a sign that says "FREE FOOD HERE". I bet the nearby nests, the ones without lights and cams pointing them out to the entire potential predator universe, have much higher success rates.
@@ArleneBeechHomebird Owls can see into the infra red range much more than humans and I agree with the OP that these are advertising the nests to hungry owls.
Interesting point, though an owl has night vision anyway, I doubt an IR light or any other unusual activity will attract secretive birds to said nest, though Im not sure they help the situation either. Definitely worth further study ✌🏻
@@ArleneBeechHomebird Hi Arlene, Perhaps...unless there are predators that sense Infra Red. I am positive, however, that the cameras are making sounds not audible to the human ear that mammals and birds can readily hear. Hopefully humans are not making these nests targets for predators, but if a predator notices whenever there are certain lights/sounds food is around (animals can be very clever and adapt to new stimuli) observation nests and the equipment involved may attract more predation than normal. Thanks for the kind response.
No it’s not. That’s life for the owl and it’s babies. That’s how life works. Do you cry for the ant you step on? Or the cockroach you kill for no good reason?
@@goldwolf0606 I mean, it clearly sucks for the chick, that's why you can feel sad for it. But everyone deals with it in their own way. It's ok to feel sad for something that dies. It's also ok to block out feeling sad for something, so long as you're not degrading others like a pretentious prick who needs to feel higher than someone else to fight their own insecurities, because someone else chooses to feel sad for something that died.

RIP lil one you did all you could do and Luther Dad we love you for taking on 2 babies and not abandon them when your mate died or Mom Osprey. Such a tragedy one right after another. 2 babies close to fledging and mom Osprey just heartbroken 😭 You all be remember by so many.
Mary Galbiati I am not positive which story or facts are true maybe someone else can give exact facts but first we're told mom didn't return and a female osprey was seen hung upside down by the nest. Second story told was that when mom was last seen a day later a Osprey was laying dead below the nest so not sure if any are correct but definitely everyone agreed the mom had passed away just not sure how. Sorry I can't help you anymore thank you for translating in English what language is that u speak ? nice talking to you. I do know for days after mom went missing the dad Luther was calling out to her for days and it was very sad to watch. Heartbreaking to hear him call out every few minutes and sit and listen to see if you could hear her call back. I might be able to try and research if I find any factual information from the site I will let you know otherwise like I said others may be able to tell you what day so I did not see it.
Wow, that owl knew exactly what it was doing, striking from the rear like that so that it could immediately bite the neck. Also, that youngster looked very weak already.
@@cwg73160 You think I missed the context? I'm talking about the sleeping behavior and more. I was thinking about the fact that it was laying its head down like that. Maybe that's normal for an osprey of that age (it is, after all, still pretty young), but I myself have never seen that behavior in a bird that is healthy and as far developed as that one was (usually they can sleep with their head up, perhaps tucked under a wing, like an adult bird). Then after that, it sure didn't have much ability to fight. Young birds of prey are usually quite powerful when defending themselves, even if badly wounded. It never had a chance of course, but I expected it to fight harder and it barely even moved. No wing-flapping, nothing.
It's late 2019, anyone here has an idea how the Belwood Lake Ospreys are doing? I hope they are able to "rebuild" after this loss. Any update is much appreciated!
Man, owls are amazing predators, completely silent flying, claw-shaped talons and quick, efficient kills. Shame about the chick, but they're easy prey unprotected and without one of the parents... it was a matter of time to be honest.
I,m not going to lie, I,m sitting here watching that baby take his last breath and it,s very difficult, but I do know that Great Horned Owl is hungry and needs to survive😥😥😥😥
Just think, that GHO may have babies of her/his own to feed. At least it was quick for the Osprey. Nature sure is brutal on the human eyes sometimes though, I agree. 💚
That must be the number one worst way to be awoken among ospreys. Barely has a chance to realize she wasn't digging into a huge fresh trout all to herself. Two minutes later she has no head.
The GHO has gotta eat. Sad the chick was it's meal instead of a rat or something. Maybe it's parents will have a chick survive to adulthood next year at a different nesting site.
Hi Jason, on this particular nest the mother was found dead quite early on and the dad was doing everything himself. He kept up with the food really well, but didn't seem to know about staying on the nest at night, normally the mother's role. It was incredibly sad so hopefully next year he'll be back with a new mate and they'll have a better chance although GHO's have taken a lot of Osprey chicks this year.
Liger King why? Ospreys would literally do the exact same thing to an under guarded owl nest. So should they be killed too? Should we just murder every predator that has ever lived? Get over your hypocrisy buddy.
Owl had no trouble killing the first one, unprotected chicks are easy prey. Poor little family, the other osprey family I watched didn't fare any better. Four chicks, one fell out of the nest and died, the other three starved because of a storm that prevented dad from hunting properly. :(
Even if the parent arrived at the same time as the owl, the chick was doomed. The owl worked on the neck with its beak while its talons were already deep in the body. If the owl hadn't done any beak work, the talons already fatally injured the body.
In falconry a lot of falconers have to watch there bird's very carefully because great horned owls have been known to kill there bird's, this is a good example, there's just no way to hear a owl because they are silent and stealthy
Sue ojeda, I love falconry, I'm just saying that great horned owls hunt falconry birds, I have friends that are falconers that have problems some times having there bird's hunted by owls, I was just sharing knowledge, I respect your oppinion.
It all comes down to the structure of the owls’ flight feathers. There is set of little spines/ribs along the outer edge of the feathers that softens the air before actually meeting the body of feathers, providing a very stealthy glide and wing beat. It became necessary due to their main prey (rodents and lagamorphs) having excellent hearing. It just happens that it’s an excellent adaptation for hunting everything else as well.
@Gary Ramirez. I am very well into and acquainted with Falconers in Florida and in New York & it's quite the opposite actually. Ghos specialize in hunting from behind on silent feathers & usually at night. Diurnal Raptirs that falconer use like Red Tailed Hawks and Goshawks are hunted with in the daytime, when the hawk has the advantage. & if the hawk/ falconer are seasoned & have been doing it for some time , it is the hawk that can give the gho an extremely hard time as These hawks are also fighters and can see the owl. I've seen proof of incidents where ghos were killed. I have photo proof of a young female Red Tailed Hawk that killed an adult female Gho. All talons from both of the owls- skull and face- crushing the owls skull bone structure causing hemmorage & a quick death. Both of each of the Hawks longest talons, the halux claws were each stuck deeply into both of the owls eyes. Excellent kill & very quick. The owl didn't even have a chance. I will gladly share the image.
Where is dad Luther? I've watched other Osprey nest. I've seen at least one of the parents stay at the nest all night long. Poor baby. This is so sad. The Owl going unchallenged at every attack.
Too many great horned owls around - hear two of them hooting near our home - one of our cats got taken right off the deck one morning. Much restricted outdoor only daytime for the remaining three and slingshot at the ready. (soft pellets to scare off only)
@nickys34 The point was primarily about animals not people. I don't think owls eat plant life although they seem to eat any animal they can kill. Ospreys only eat fish. I've been told that eating rice and beans gives a complete protein that is essentially the same as any meat protein; both groups need additional plant foods to provide necessary vitamins and minerals. Eating nothing but meat doesn't provide everything you need. Eat Right for Your Type by D'Adamo discusses why some people should be vegetarians and some should not.
God bless the precious babies I pray they are high above us soaring with the other babies! :-( God bless dad and I pray that he will meet a new female & they will have a big beautiful family next season. It is soooo sad what the owl has done to this family, I guess with mother nature the owl may have a family of his own to care for. I still don't like it though. 😪😪😪😪❤️❤️❤️🌺🌺
There was only one parent. The mom died more than three weeks ago. Dad was doing an amazing job all by himself. Besides, there was really nothing he could have done. Ospreys don't see well at night and Great Horned Owls will kill adult ospreys also.
I have more questions. First, it's amazing though it's also sad and your camera work is over. I wonder if this was the second chick then why he isn't there in the night? He should be there laying right beside the last remaining chick. The poor little thing didn't put up any fight at all and he was dead in seconds. Though I don't know how or why. You see the lion takes time to choke out a wildebeest or a zebra. The Hyena and wild dogs start to rip them apart and start eating them while still alive and die in the process. This owl just flew in on it no choking no ripping apart a little shaking head as the nerve was still working and it was over. Oh, well there's always next year. BTW I used to go fishing by Bellwood Lake in the 80s and even enter a few times for the pike fishing and once a perch fishing derby. I love to go there to catch catfish and carp. It's a nice man-made deep lake with hydroelectricity generated there. Kind of a starting point for the Grand River. Empties into Lake Erie just South of Dunville. By hunting we went to the Luther mars area. In the summer by the Elora gorge and jumping from the cliffs but can't do it no more and you get a big fine if they catch you. Few Hollywood movies were filmed there too. 1 famous horror too (I forgot the name)
That's too sad to watch but that's good at least he didn't suffer as much as he could have by a different predator. This is why they are warnings to indigenous people of death like the reaper. Sacred bird the owl.. Never send the photo to them or anyone unless you don't want to hear from them again.
myname is love You got that absolutely right! I enjoy it when I see something posted that not everyone is too familiar with, meaning I wasn't the only one who thought this (what you wrote). 😊😊😊😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Owls are better parents, I guess. The mother usually stays with the chicks all the time and the father hunts for the whole family. Or they take turns protecting the chicks.
@@learninglasvegas..1822 And the black community does such an excellent job raising kids in single-mother households, too. Just look at the south side of Chicago, yep, all those baby mamas are doing spectacular jobs of cranking out first class citizens who are polite, well-spoken, highly educated, law-abiding, modest and clean-living.
Are you kidding R Greenup? Great horned owls will take chicks out of the nest right in front of the parent... Just as thousands of priests victimized children from two-parent homes. I don't know if you were being racist, but you were certainly making a stupid analogy on which to predicate a "Life lesson"!
Mary Galbiati Hawk and Eagles do not posses the good night vision. The owls do. The owl also possesses silent flight and full superior night vision. That's why they are able to take advantage. All farmers love to have owls roosting around their farms because the at all the rodents that damage their crops.
The chick was so heavy it's hard to believe that the owl could carry it back to its nest.
It's almost like he was looking around to see if any witnesses seen him just commit murder
Just too sad for each individual in nature's wild animal kingdom. Just a baby and almost grown. Only savings grace if any, is that unlike hawks who take forever to pluck their prey leading to a very long, painful ordeal, this wasn't as long even though this poor baby suffered.

@@Niko.. except that they will attack you for no reason.

LOL!
He ain't going to do that s*** around bald eagles.. trust me on that one..
I can't imagine why BOTH parents would be away from the nest especially after losing the previous chick.

Hi Theos, the Infra Red light is picked up by the camera but is not visible to the occupants of the nests. :-)

By hunting we went to the Luther mars area. In the summer by the Elora gorge and jumping from the cliffs but can't do it no more and you get a big fine if they catch you. Few Hollywood movies were filmed there too. 1 famous horror too (I forgot the name)
Que dó💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

That's too sad to watch but that's good at least he didn't suffer as much as he could have by a different predator.
This is why they are warnings to indigenous people of death like the reaper. Sacred bird the owl.. Never send the photo to them or anyone unless you don't want to hear from them again.
myname is love You got that absolutely right! I enjoy it when I see something posted that not everyone is too familiar with, meaning I wasn't the only one who thought this (what you wrote).
😊😊😊😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@@karlepaul6632 I'm sorry, but I don't understand what the reference to indigenous people is. Does the owl signify imminent death?
Also curious
Вот гад,мышей ему мало!?
Точно так же подумала, когда смотрела ролик.
Very sad so where was at least one of the parents??? Though chicks are never left alone???
At Verizon , We had to wait five months to replace antenna on cellphone tower due to active osprey nest ...cause they are endangered species
And, that's why I'm a Verizon customer.
Pretty much ALL nesting birds are protected. Osprey are not endangered.

Why to end....
For the survival of their children. Seems all too familiar
Where are the parents???
Poor baby bird
Was the mother catching fish at night???
The mother was found dead, thought to be the victim of a GHO. The dad was doing the best he could on his own.
Owls are better parents, I guess. The mother usually stays with the chicks all the time and the father hunts for the whole family. Or they take turns protecting the chicks.
The mother was dead already...
Just like with us humans children need both parents to get a good start in life, a lesson from nature here.
why you being racist dude??? it was obvious that was bent towards the black community because 77% are single-mother households. Nazi!
@@learninglasvegas..1822 And the black community does such an excellent job raising kids in single-mother households, too. Just look at the south side of Chicago, yep, all those baby mamas are doing spectacular jobs of cranking out first class citizens who are polite, well-spoken, highly educated, law-abiding, modest and clean-living.
Bas Didit Only a Black dumbass such as yourself pulls the race card over everything. Dumb fuck
Are you kidding R Greenup? Great horned owls will take chicks out of the nest right in front of the parent... Just as thousands of priests victimized children from two-parent homes. I don't know if you were being racist, but you were certainly making a stupid analogy on which to predicate a "Life lesson"!
The owl broke it's neck.. crazy..
Just too sad...........
Man so difficult to watch them die slowly... Makes you wish the chick would have been put out of misery quickly ;-;
It actually did look like it did die pretty quick. Thank God
But how is it possible !! But parents do not do anything! Possible they can not fight an owl? 😢😢😢😡😡😡
owls are much stronger and to fight back the parent would possibly be injured and the owl would take the chick anyway.
thank you
It's late at night. Osprey don't see well in the dark. The GHOW rules the night.
Mary Galbiati Hawk and Eagles do not posses the good night vision. The owls do. The owl also possesses silent flight and full superior night vision. That's why they are able to take advantage. All farmers love to have owls roosting around their farms because the at all the rodents that damage their crops.
It's at night. Owls have a MASSIVE advantage at night.
parents weren’t around
Where were the parents? It's night and should have been around
