Great video. Thoughts: 1. Owls have such an advantage at night. 2. Owls keep a low profile during the day for a reason. 3. Osprey Mom did a good job defending the last chick. 4. The Mom has to do double duty. She defends at night & she also must eat during the day

She fought so hard for her baby 😭please let this little one make it

Rachel is a amazing mother, great protector always fought for all of them, Legend. I miss her

Rachel is a hero mom and it has paid off. She loves her baby Courageous Warrior Princess with all her heart! What a miracle God performed for this awesome osprey family! Bailey overcame every obstacle to gain her freedom. I am so proud of her!

I am a Christian, but to talk of this as a miracle is moronic. The Owl is looking for food. Just as the Osprey kills fish to eat. Your comment makes no sense

These poor birds have been through so much! I am praying that God protects them! 🙏❤🕊

The true and legendary brave Rachel! An inspiration of courage, dedication and love.

It’s gets tired seeing GHO’s continually taking the chicks of other raptors that aren’t even in competition with them for the same prey items. This mom osprey done a fantastic job defending her baby.

This baby has quite a story -- Great Horned Owl, wasps and an eagle. Check it out here -- www.audubon.org/news/the-saga-continues-bailey-beleaguered-hog-island-osprey As of Feb 21, 2018, Audubon Center for Birds of Prey decided that Bailey will have a forever home with the Center as the rehab of her wing will prohibit her from living out in the wild (facebook.com/AudubonCenterforBirdsofPrey/photos/a.178902082122714.47191.178399165506339/1811490132197226/?type=3)

Yes, I was watching such scenes from Japan ! Here is now lunch time, so your time is night time! I sincerely and deeply hope and pray that GHO would give up and respect Rachel's efforts !

That was tough to watch and awesome at the same time!! I've been following an Osprey nest in PA for years. I've watched a Daddy Osprey take on two Eagles that got too close to the nest. The size difference was unreal. Here at least Rachel seems to be as big as the GHO. I have so much respect for these amazing raptors. Thanks so much for this. Rachel is a BadAss for sure!!

Why was she attacking the chick? 22:08 stress? great video

​@@Jusywhothat's tight ,mom can't see, in the dark and she thinks owel is in the nest, so she attacks , but it's her chick , mom finally figures this out

Mom seems irritated with Bailey at 28:40 , was she trying to quieten her down?

Possibly to quiet and lay back down to be less of a target in case the GHO returns. Don't you wish you spoke Osprey.

at the end of the video, why does the mother bird keep pushing the baby? Can someone explain to me that Vietnamese people don't understand English?

the fathers dont stick around to help feed and protect the baby bird?

Where is the male osprey?

It's the responsibility of the female osprey to defend the nest at night. The male osprey's responsibility is to fish and defend the nest during the day.

I wonder why she attacked her chick after fending off the owl attack?

I was wondering if she was trying to make her chick fledge? Not sure, don’t know birds very well, but I could see that as a last ditch attempt to get the chick somewhere (relatively) safer. Clearly she was trying to communicate something! Edit: just had the thought, perhaps she was trying to get the chick to grip the nest as tight as the chick could to avoid being grabbed more easily by the owl? Using the chick’s instinct to NOT fledge yet. Very smart mama bird if so!

I do not get it? The Osprey attacked the chick not an owl?

No, the GHO did not get the last chick who was named Bailey. However, Bailey resides in a conservation center as the injuries she incurred here and later on made it not possible to release her back to the wild. Here's some of Bailey's store -- www.audubon.org/news/the-saga-continues-bailey-beleaguered-hog-island-osprey We received news later on that it would be her forever home.

That shot in 27:45 great saved

Sad her partner did not help

Personally I think the light from the cam had a lot to do with it even though GHO's have excellent eye sight. I don't think this type of bird watching should be allowed especially when it lights up an area that otherwise would not be lit.

The light you see is infrared (IR) light which is only visible to the camera. If the IR was turned off, the camera would show you it would be pitch dark.

@TrashFireSpectator

Late answer but the chick was eventually rescued after a bald eagle attacked her when she had fledged. They put her under an X-ray and deemed her unsuitable for release because her injured wing (probably caused by the owl attacks) would never allow her to migrate all the way south like ospreys do. They did try to fix the wing, but it became clear the damage done was permanent, unfortunately. She is still in captivity right now. I believe at the Audubon Center for Birds of Prey in Florida.

Interesting! You don't understand what had been going on: mother told it's child, you must learn to fly away it's to dangerous furtheron in this nest!

Poor Owl. Owl babies need to eat also, and Nature is an enormous restaurant. Or to quote Werner Herzog, "A harmony of overwhelming and collective murder."

She just lost first once then she know that she couldn't save this one 😥, and her husband didn't help her even she tried very hard to call him so the way that she use her kid for more intersting 😥😥 "Just my thinking"

Life should not be so hard.(compared to other osprey nest made by humans) The countless tragedies can be avoided if this nest base not set here for some reasons instead of PROTECTION. I condemn all the related organizations and experts. This kind of animal cruelty Live Show should be destroyed.

We wish life should not be this hard, but it is -- in all living creatures. This type of predation happens everywhere whether the home is natural or manmade. If you do not believe me, KZread points you to some where the nests are natural. I even have one that I've recorded.

Jusywho I know raw nature. Sorry I didn't make my comments clear to you--I mean when it compared to other osprey nest under protection of humans. Since the wild life is so hard as we know, It's unnecessary for humans to keep the nest in such a dangerous place.

Nests are put up to deter the birds from building their homes atop electrical poles or place in areas where the birds once habituated but no longer could due to DDT/DDE and are not under human protection. Even if they pulled down this nest, the family most likely will find another location in this area to build as it has a great food resource. We just won't see them lose chicks because their is no cam. The area is becoming a haven for lots of raptors. This nest lost chicks to bald eagles 2 years ago in the day time and I think another year, too. Organizations that put up cams on a nest should only intervene because the object that puts the bird in danger is manmade, i.e. fish hook, plastic twine, fishing wire, and I do not mean the nest platform. Some organizations are forced to intervene because of mass human hysteria watching the cam. Those have to usually get approval from their federal/state government agency or else shut the cams down as it may put the organization in danger.

Jusywho Thank you for sharing. I agree. I object to any human interference unless the species endangered by human causes like DDT or other pesticides.(thus they may need to be conserved/protected) I choose to believe birds(Steve & Rachael) could build a better home by themselves than this platform. The ospreys' well-being is far more important than the opportunity of watching their Live. The camera is an issue needed for further studies/discussions.

The camera is set up infrared light which animals cannot see. Only the camera can see the light. Owls have great night vision and that is usually when they hunt for themselves and their family.

If you think this is bad. You’ll hate Raccoons eating a baby birds alive. I have Birds nest around my house And its a pleasure killing Raccoons around my yard.
