Hi Some fellow osprey watchers and myself have been observing the three chicks atop the power tower on the Brooklyn Park side of the Coon Rapids Dam and two of the three chicks have now fledged. This is particularly good news in light of some losses at some of the other osprey nests. The first one fledged on thursday afternoon at 1:50 p.m. and the second one fledged yesterday at 1:35 p.m. We expect the third one to fledge in the next couple of days. The tower is 125 feet up and it’s tough to get good photos but I did the best I could. There are some of my photos at my flickr page at https://www.flickr.com/photos/ronsthoughts/?deleted=14747581912. I am a volunteer for the 3 rivers osprey project .
