As this population of ospreys continues to grow, I am finding less and less time to spend in front of a computer….writing posts and answering emails. I have also had some health issues and took a much needed break to go to California for a few days to visit my cousin and to see Paul McCartney on his first tour in three years. He was amazing and did provide a big lift to everyones spirits. I busted my butt to get to most nests before I left…and many ospreys are incubating. Sadly we still have some sites where a nest was removed and no ospreys have been seen, no rebuilding has occurred. We are missing a lot of banded birds….even younger ones. Today I checked a nest that was built last year and still there is only a lonely female there. No male has shown up. Not sure why she hasnt attracted a new mate. We are looking for new nests that might pop up. It will be very interesting to see how our numbers are at the end of the year.
