Iris is such a pro!! and Baby is such a good eater already! I thought it was so adorable the way Finnegan hovered over the baby and wanted to get to cuddling. After the feeding Iris brooded the baby and the other egg and Finnegan stuck around and fed Iris some bites!! 🥰😘

What a loving partner he is! ♥️

[@DMStarXOXO]

@@LizbetPCB He sure is!! I just posted a short video clip of him feeding Iris. First time I've ever seen this with Ospreys

[@LizbetPCB]

So precious 💞 and Finnegan, observing Iris feeding baby so it would help with him feeding the baby!! So BEAUTIFUL this little family is after many years of no babies or new partner...

[@DMStarXOXO]

They are bringing so much joy to those of us that know the story since her last baby Lele

This is amazing to watch, momma feeding her baby.❤

[@PJSBENGAL]

Thank you D MorningStar for this video on this nest. I have been watching Iris for many years now and I have been so heartbroken for her not to have some babies every year. Finally Louis is out of the picture and in with a wonderful mate Finn. I was overjoyed. Iris is a wonderful Mommy and hasn't skipped a beat on how to feed her little ones. I was checking in today and was so happy to see the baby. What a little cutie!! Finnegan is a wonderful mate and will be a wonderful daddy. Love his name. I don't think in all the time I have been watching Osprey's have I ever seen one feed their mate. He's a keeper!! 🥰 I love Osprey's, I think they are beautiful and the babies are adorable as all babies, human or animal are. Hoping the other egg hatches too. Have a great evening. ❤❤🥰🥰🌈

[@DMStarXOXO]

You're very welcome!! Love everything you have to say about Iris and Finn. I have never seen an Osprey feed another either, very heartwarming and so precious!!

[@PJSBENGAL]

@@DMStarXOXO Thanks. I am so happy for Iris and I think she is too now. She was waiting for just the right mate and now she has found him. I hope they have many more babies together!! 💕💕💕

[@theck672]

The chick has such beautiful markings… ❤

[@debs987]

❤ how sweet! 🥰

[@barnowlwatcher]

I love the osprey calls! From watching this cam, and then others, I was stunned one day on the beach (California) when I heard the call and one was at the top of a dead tree. Next time it was carrying a huge fish in its talons. Do we expect the other egg to hatch?

[@DMStarXOXO]

They do have some loud & unique calls don't they? I don't know if the other egg will hatch, but it was laid 7 days after the first.

[@susancooper9577]

So happy for Iris! She deserves this baby! 🤗

[@DMStarXOXO]

Me too!! Such a great Momma!!

[@jjfaris]

Strong baby. Have you heard or seen anything regarding the other egg? Thank you. DMST

[@DMStarXOXO]

You're welcome! The only thing I know about the other egg is that is that it was laid 7 days after the first.

[@jjfaris]

@@DMStarXOXO that seems to be a long time between eggs.

[@DMStarXOXO]

@@jjfaris Yes, it's very long. Pip watch is between the 16th and the 18th.

[@jjfaris]

@@DMStarXOXO if it hatches, it will need to get strong fast to stand up to the big brother or sister

[@DMStarXOXO]

@@jjfaris For sure! I am wondering about it all too. I've never seen a hatch of two little ones this far apart! Praying all will go well, and maybe the parents will dual feed them.
