A pair of ravens decided the nest was a treasure trove of nesting materials both in the morning and afternoon. After picking through the dried grass clumps and rails, they made off with some choice sticks. 2 videos below.
Ravens will predate eggs and young chicks, but in previous years, the adult Ospreys have been enough of a formidable deterrent and kept them away from the nest and off camera.
A little later a Northern Flicker vocalized and hammered on the cam pole, and then, at 8:54am, Female18-1 (from yesterday) arrived on the nest for a visit of a little over 20 minutes, and she made another appearance in the afternoon for a closeup video! Audio and 2 videos below.
