Summary

Description

The first osprey chick (out of three) fledged at Eagle Lakes Park, Naples, FL this morning. The nest is on top of the lights at the West side of the baseball field.

Its first flight was to the next pole - they are about 60 feet apart. It stayed there occasionally exercising its wings. Then after a couple of hours, the male adult came along and pushed it off that perch so it flew to the next pole but it tried to land on the lamp and just fell off.

It managed to get to the next pole but then it had real trouble. It was near a mockingbird's nest so the poor thing was attacked for an hour with the mockingbird hitting it really hard. This was all a new experience for the chick - it didn't know what to do but left for another pole eventually.


To make things worse, the adults didn't feed the fledgling but they did start taking fishes into the nest for the other two chicks!!!
