Osprey chicks fledged
8/2/19 Anchor Bay The two Osprey chicks in the nest we watch have fledged. Lots of calling in the air. It’s nice that the fledglings come back to the nest to rest and eat so we get to still watch them

Western Gull looks like a real possibility. Common Murre eggs have the pointed end. This egg has a more rounded end. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction, Dave and Diane. Jeanne
