This osprey nest is located at Lake Murray, SC. It has a history of predation of the young ospreys... taken off the nest by a great horned owl. Last year the two oldest osplets were taken by the owl.
On this night, the GHO returned and took the youngest of the three siblings. 'Little' was just 26 days old, and as the youngest of three, he had to contend with his older siblings' dominance. 'Little' struggled and competed to be fed each and every day. He was strong, courageous, and resilient. He was succeeding... he was making it. Fly high 'Little'. We loved you, and we cheered for you. We will miss you, and we won't forget you.
A slow motion recording of the event is included at: 1:57
