I predict we will have our first ospreys back on the nest today or tomorrow. We had northerly winds yesterday, and were supposed to have strong winds from the NW today…but right now it’s quite calm….winds from the N at 2-3 mph. Winds will switch to being from the SE tomorrow. Our first banded male osprey arrived last year on this day. He will be 19 this year, so if he survived, we will see him soon. He has been the first osprey back for years….first pair to lay eggs, first chicks to hatch last year. We have been able to set our osprey watches by him. There are three other nests we watch too for early returns….if those territorial birds survived, they are usually the early birds. I will check one today and one volunteer will check another today. Keep your eyes open!
