Little Tuffy fledged 5/25/24 Moorings Park Osprey


May 25, 2024

The youngest sibling, Tuffy, took his first flight this morning at 62 days of age. Tuffy did a brief fly-about, returned to the nest, and stuck his first landing. During his flight, Tuffy buzzed the nest as if to say: "Hey, Ruffie, look at me!"

Tuffy had a real struggle just trying to stay alive in the first few weeks of his life. But, he was strong, courageous, and he persevered. Congratulations, you made it, Tuffy. You are a fledgling!
