The 2024 season showcased a new beginning for the Hellgate Osprey Cam family. The cam’s long-time matriarch, Iris, started fresh with a new mate, Finnegan, who turned out to be quite the fisherman. In their first season together, the new pair raised two heathy nestlings to fledging in August, which marked Iris’s first successful breeding season since 2018. Now’s your chance to enjoy Iris and Finnegan’s most memorable moments in these 2024 season highlights! The 2024 Hellgate Osprey Cam showcased the first season with Iris and her new mate, Finnegan, in Missoula, Montana. After entertaining multiple suitors, Iris chose Finnegan as her new mate and laid her first egg of the breeding season on May 2. Finnegan, however, rejected the egg and kicked it out of the nest. This can happen when multiple males are in competition for a site. Iris continued to lay two more eggs on May 5 and 12, and the Ospreys spent the next 5 weeks incubating their clutch. The incubation period was not without its challenges. Iris and the eggs survived a late-night attack from this Great Horned Owl. The pair also warded off intruding Ospreys in search of viable nest sites and territories. Finnegan turned out to be quite the fisherman. He also helped Iris incubate and spruced up the nest with fresh sticks and moss. After 38 days of incubation, a fuzzy hatchling poked its head up from the nest bowl on June 12. Five days later, the second chick hatched and joined its elder sibling in the nest. Finnegan supplied his family with fresh fish caught from the Clark Fork River and other waterways during the nestling period. Fresh fish were passed to Iris at the nest, where she would tear up small bites for the chicks. The well-fed nestlings needed plenty of rest as the weeks flew by and their feathers grew in. On hot summer days, Iris raised her wings to shield the chicks from the sun’s rays. After a month in the nest, the nestlings had almost grown to the size of their parents thanks to a steady supply of fish. Their juvenile feathers were also starting to grow in nicely. The chicks were named “Sum-eh” (eldest) and “Antali” (youngest) in a vote by the cam community. These names honor the Salish people’s deep connectionto the lands where the Hellgate Ospreys now nest. As the chicks approached 40 days old, they showed more interest in feeding on their own, but Iris won this tug-o-war. Learning to self-feed in the nest is an essential skill for when the young Ospreys begin catching their own food as fledglings. In early August, Sum-eh prepped for fledging with wing exercises and hovering bouts over the nest site. On August 5, Sum-eh fluttered over to the nearby perch and fledged with a wide, circling flight around the nest. The younger Antali stuck around with its parents for a while. But on August 14, the young chick fledged while attempting to land on the nest’s edge! The fledglings continued to visit the nest site for another month as they honed their flying skills and learned to fish. In September, the Ospreys embarked south on their fall migrations to warmer wintering grounds. Young migrants spend ~18 months exploring their wintering grounds before returning north to find their own territories. Thanks for watching and learning with us during Iris and Finnegan’s first season together. We hope to see you in 2025!

It’s in a very busy location, right outside the Riverside Health Care Center and next to busy parking lots, a construction site, a busy highway, and a railroad. However, it’s also an ideal location in many ways, since these Ospreys have riverfront property only about 50 feet from the Clark Fork River. Being so close to people does not bother them, and hundreds of people enjoy watching them every day. The female Osprey at this nest is called Iris because she has very distinctive spots on her iris, especially in her left eye. These iris patterns serve as individual barcodes and allow us to identify her. She has nested at this site for many years. Her mate of many years, Stanley, did not return in 2016, and she attempted to breed with a new male dubbed "Louis" after an influential local Salish elder named Louis Adams. After a single year of successful breeding with Louis in 2017, Iris went through several years of unsuccessful attempts as Louis paired up with another female a little downriver. Then, in 2024 a new male showed up (later christened "Finnegan" by viewers) who successfully paired with Iris and began a new breeding season. #birdcams #live #osprey #birds #wildlife #nature #nowplaying #montana
