Here comes a whopper! Watch Clark deliver a large fish to the Hellgate Osprey nest for Iris and their growing chick. After Iris corrals the catch, she begins feeding her hungry nestling. Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/Ospreys

There are still two more eggs in the nest. As of June 18, Iris and Clark's second egg has reached 42 days of incubation, placing it at the upper end of the typical hatching window for Ospreys (36–42 days). While a hatch is still possible, the likelihood is decreasing.

The pair's third egg was laid unusually late on May 13, six days after the second. If it is viable, there is still plenty of time for it to hatch. We'll be watching!

Ready for takeoff? Watch one of the older Red-tailed Hawk chicks flap furiously at the Cornell Hawks nest. These vigorous wing exercises help build the strength needed for flight, and with fledging just around the corner, this young hawk appears eager to get airborne.

Since 2018, Big Red and Arthur's oldest chicks have fledged between 47 and 51 days of age, which means we're likely to see the first chick take flight sometime between June 19 and 23. Watch LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/CornellHawks

Four fledges in less than one minute! Enjoy this compilation of all four American Kestrel chicks fledging from their nest box in Prairie du Chien, Wisconsin. The nestlings departed over the course of five days, from June 8 to June 13, marking the longest span between the fledging of the oldest and youngest chicks that we've documented at this site.

Check out the breakdown below:

• First chick (female): fledged June 8 at 27 days post-hatch
• Second chick (male): fledged June 10 at 29 days post-hatch
• Third chick (female): fledged June 11 at 28 days post-hatch
• Fourth chick (male): fledged June 13 at 31 days post-hatch

The cam is now offline for the season following the successful fledging of all four chicks. Thanks to everyone who watched and learned alongside us this year. We'll see you in 2027! Keep watching all the cams LIVE at AllAboutBirds.org/Cams

On the Northern Royal Albatross Cam, dad WYL stops to check on the chick. At this stage, the parents are foraging at sea full time and return to the chick every 2-3 days. The chick from the Plateau nest hatched on January 22 and was 135 days old as of June 6. His weighing on June 9 put him at a hefty 24 pounds (or 11 kg)! This is up from 21 pounds (9.5 kg) at his last weighing on May 28. He is currently one of the 3 heaviest chicks out of the 39 at the colony. Follow along at AllAboutBirds.org/Albatross
