Reflecting Back to Past Years

Word has it that Osprey have now returned to the locations around our summer place…they are always something that seem to distract me from the Job Jar.
Well for now I’ve been reflecting back on some memorable encounters with the Osprey until such time I’m able to obtain some current photos.
Coming across a juvenile on a low post turned out to be the Bonus of the Day that morning.
Hopefully this year’s season will be successful for them and action packed.

Cheers !

Ready to Move On

Since becoming involved with the Peregrine Project fifteen years ago and only used to seeing them perched high above the streets below, things have greatly changed.
These birds no longer are necessarily drawn to the highest of structures and have over time chosen lower locations. Their locations range from being at the 30 floor (Radisson Hotel) to 10 floors and less at other sites.
In some cases they have even become accustom to using hydro poles and trees which makes IDing the bird much easier….so I really appreciate how they have adapted to different surroundings.
