It's a family gathering at the Hellgate Osprey nest! First, Iris greets Finnegan with loud calls as he touches down next to their youngest chick, Antali. Moments later, Sum-eh arrives. The family reunion doesn't last long, as Finnegan takes off at the end of the clip. Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/Ospreys As the days pass, we'll have fewer chances to see all of the Ospreys together on the nest. Sum-eh has already spent its first night roosting away from the nest site, and Antali is gearing up

On the Hellgate Osprey Cam, viewers got a taste of Finnegan's aerial abilities when an interloping Osprey encroached on the nest. Despite carrying a large stick, Finnegan swooped in to deter the intruder, then eventually chases the other bird off, leaving Iris safe and sound on the eggs.

At the Hellgate Osprey nest, Finnegan (left) observes Iris feeding their chicks a fish that he delivered to the nest. At some point, the male attempts to reclaim his catch. Iris isn't willing to return the meal, and after a short tussle, Finnegan retires to the perch. Time to go fishing, Finn! Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/Ospreys | Bird Cams

Watch Iris the Osprey swoop onto the Hellgate nest with a stick on September 8! This is the time of year when Iris often begins her fall migration, meaning this could be one of her final on-camera appearances in 2025 before embarking on her long journey to her tropical wintering grounds. We’ll be here to watch and celebrate each of her visits for as long as she stays! Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/Ospreys | Bird Cams

Iris the Osprey arrived at her Hellgate nest and was joined moments later by the male that has been consorting with her since the spring. He brought a fish for her, which she took while making excited vocalizations, then flew off. He remained on the nest for a few more moments, then flew off.

Watch the elder Osprey nestling attempt to nibble on a fish after Finnegan leaves a meal in the Hellgate nest. Osprey chicks aren't able to effectively feed on their own until about 40 days of age, but this chick (12 days old in this clip) wants to get started early. In time, little one!

Watch Finnegan bring in a whopper to the Hellgate Osprey nest. Iris takes the fish and stuffs her chicks to the gills. After about 40 minutes, Finnegan would reclaim his catch and take it to go. The chicks (9 and 14 days old in this clip from June 26) both look healthy and well nourished thanks to frequent feedings of fresh fish by Iris and Finnegan.

🐟🐟🐟 Have you checked out the second view on the Hellgate Osprey Cam this season? This cam features a view of the "owl pole" just downriver from the nest site. It's framed atop a utility pole that has (in the past) had a plastic owl mounted on it below the spot where the Ospreys often stop to eat their fish. Iris dropped by with a fresh, flopping fish this week for dinner! Watch LIVE at https://AllAboutBirds.org/Ospreys and click on the "2nd Cam" button above the livestream. | Bird Cams
