July 12, 2008. I spent four hours observing an Osprey family (Mother, Father, Fledgling) at Running Deer Natural Area in Fort Collins. In addition to sighting some other familiar birds I watched an intimate unfolding of morning routine on a platform nest. Parents up at 7am, teenager sleeps till 9. Mom goes out shopping for home improvement items at 9:30, Dad out hunting at 10:00. At 10:30 the hunter returns with fresh fish kill which mom then feeds to child waiting until the end to feed herself. Amazing to watch!!
