4 Osprey chicks doing well, although the youngest is quite a bit smaller than the others. When fish were offered and fed to the chicks the youngest stood aside and waited. Later, the adult seemed to make a special effort to provide food to the young one after the others were done.  Also seen during almost 4 hours at the end of the boardwalk observing the activity at the nest and taking pictures were a Green Heron, several Wood Duck families, Great Blue Herons, Double-crested Cormorants,  Belted Kingfisher, Killdeer, and a single female Mallard. Beautiful morning to be out and the trip to Columbus from Cincinnati was well worth it. Images in the photo gallery of Ohio Birds and more later at http://www.flickr.com/photos/nsxbirder.
