Incubating!

I checked 23 nests today...8 were empty, and that included 2 that have never been used and two that havent been used in many years. I found one pair incubating and read 8 bands. I did see some extra ospreys at several nests, so they are still looking for territories. On one nest an extra female arrived on the nest, stood side by side with the resident female and they food begged together. Neither one was aggressive towards the other...then the male arrived and nudged the visitor and off she went, to perch in a nearby tree. Worth a try I guess!
