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. Enjoy the most memorable moments in these 2024 season highlights! | Bird Cams

🎥Iris, the female from the Hellgate Osprey cam, stopped by her nest for a close up this week.
