On my last visit to Darien, I counted three chicks, but now that they are larger, it’s clear there are four. The nest was very busy with lots of feedings.
There was also an interesting “sponge bath” of grass, that the mother brought up to the nest as well. Plus there was an intruder Osprey who made a half-hearted attempt to steal a fish from the nest.
The Scot Cove, Darien Ospreys have returned to their nest this year for a second season. This year they have three young ones. (The first year they had two.) We guess they’re about two weeks old, but aren’t sure.
I was in L.A. for Easter but made a side trip to whale watch around the Channel Islands on Good Friday. Lots of great wildlife, including Brown Boobies, Spotted Harbor Seals, Sea Lions, Dolphins, Brown Pelicans, Fin and Gray Whales.

Another treat on my trip to Costa Rica was a troop of White-headed Capuchin Monkeys.
I’ve been in Panama and Costa Rica on vacation this last week. I had a great time and got to see lots of great animals including a one in a lifetime view of a Puma.
On the last day of the trip, we saw a few Three-toed Sloths.
