Taste of Maine Restaurant
Woolwich, Maine

There is only one chick at nest at the Taste of Maine Restaurant this year - and he or she is now 23 days old - and big enough to peek over the edge of the nest! An adult was landing as I arrived - and it wasn't until later that I realized that the little one had popped up to say hello! All pictures click bigger, and you'll be able to see him/her better at full size.

The three week old chick is still quite a bit smaller than the adults - but growing fast! Osprey chicks can go from egg to flight in about 8 weeks - really amazing!

These are two of the pictures I got from upstairs at the Taste of Maine - with big thanks to the owner who let me sneak up to the function room to get some shots!
