OSPREY RE-NESTINGLast night, after waiting out multiple thunderstorms, we successfully added two osprey nestlings to an active nest site on Lake Norman. These siblings were admitted to our medical center after they had to be removed from their nest. Over the past 10 years, we have only received 13 baby osprey, so we do not have much experience with re-nesting them. In fact, this is the first time that we have re-nested them in a nest that was not their own.They were placed into an ideal situation: both parents present, only one baby and it was similar in age, and the nest was easily accessible. After the young were added to the nest, a parent was back on it within 5 minutes. We owe Billy Wilson and Gene Vaughan of Lake Norman Wildlife Conservationists a huge thank you for helping us to locate and then access the active osprey nest that was used. -- source link
