We have been privileged this year to watch an osprey family build a nest
and successfully fledge one offspring right across the creek (part of
the Bodkin) from our yard. (We know this is their first because last
year their late nest building attempts were laughably unsteady and
unsuccessful.) The parents left two weeks ago, but baby is still
whining - morning, afternoon, evening, and even from time to time in the
middle of the night. He or she seems to be successfully feeding but
mightily unhappy and loud about it. Is this common?
