SURPRISE! Ospreys back!

[elleng]

and LATER!

[Bird Lady]

1. Yippie!

I have missed them. Thanks for showing them to us.
Is it too late for babies?

[elleng]

2. I surely have missed them,

and caught one later.

Likely too late for babies, but what do I know, had my first just before my 40th b'day, and 2d, 3 years later!

3. The male came back awhile ago, didn't he?

Darn females! They're always late.

4. They came pretty close in time this year, I think;

problem was geese had taken over this great old nest, so osprey needed a home. Tried the owl box roof for a while, but not practical due to the pitch and wind, so they spent much of their time elsewhere, I suspect on a different nest somewhere.

Glad they're back HOME, even tho late. Give me a reason to wake in the morning!
