She's HOME!

[elleng]

(Not much clarity, but she flew by 2d floor window 3 times so I KNEW!)

!!! Ospreys meeting on owl box!


Another view of their 'meet up.'






Calling!

[Biophilic]

1. That is so cool.

[Walleye]

2. Hallelujah. That made me happy. I just put up a hummingbird feeder on my deck I know it's early

[elleng]

3. Neat!

I'm lucky if I see 2 hummingbirds a year, and neighbor dramatically cut honeysuckle so not expecting any!

4. Nice! The Ospeys in Noth-West Tennessee showed up about a month ago.

Theyre busy making nests along the Cumberland River.

5. She must have been part of the great migration yesterday traveling with the fish migration ...

there were no Ospreys passing through at the Cape May Observatory today.

[elleng]

6. Mebbe, she didn't tell ME, but

I suspect HE knows NOW!

(I am so curious about their communications! Such a pair!)

[Donkees]

7. I think he knew yesterday that she was approaching the inshore areas ...

... the water temperatures in the region near you were warming above 50 degrees, and fish were on the move. Hope it's a much better year for them.

[elleng]

9. I too hope that,

and HOPE neighbor gets a reasonably-priced bamboo remover, as I canNOT see the nest now, either from my 2d floor window OR adjacent parking spots.

I've never seen them CATCHING a fish, but just now saw one flying past my window(s) CARRYING a fish (and another or the same one, just flew past in the opposite direction, NOT carrying anything!

[Donkees]

13. You really don't have to remove the bamboo roots for now, it's enough to just saw the bamboo short

to clear your view. I just use a handsaw on bamboo that is about 15+ feet tall.

Isn't the male Osprey expected to make gifts of fresh fish to his mate? Then he might have to search for fresh branches, while she searches for clumps of grasses for the nest. That might explain all the flybys you are seeing.

[elleng]

14. The bamboo does not hinder the OSPREYs, just me and my views! (thank goodness.)

Neighbor/landlord's working on bamboo solution, and as I don't OWN the place, I pretty much go along with his endeavors. He's used handsaw type instruments in the past, but it's way overgrown now.

8. Relieved they are both back

[elleng]

10. Thanks, unc70.

ME TOO!!!

[ShazzieB]

11. Yay!

Great news!

[elleng]

12. YAAY, ShazzieB!!!
