We are saddened to say that last night, on June 9th, we lost both of the Osprey chicks in two separate Owl attacks. In 25 years, we have never seen anything like this. In the long history of the nest, we have had many ups and downs, but this is absolutely unprecedented. As Humans, we tend to overlay our morals and feelings on the natural world, but we must remember that Nature is neither cruel nor kind, it is simply a finely balanced system. Though we grieve the loss of our chicks, the owls have babies as well. The loss of the Ospreys is a gain for the Owl family and their chicks.
