The hours pass and the days come and go.
I currently seem to have a lot on my plate…but thought I would need to make time to check the Urban Osprey.
At first it was much like watching paint dry…then Mrs. Osprey finally did a short fly around on my early morning visit.

I’ll assume this fly around was simply to stretch her wings since she sits at the nest for extended periods watching over the two chicks.

Now looking forward to the chicks beginning to do their Winger-cising.

When the Urban Resident Osprey returned it didn’t take long for them to begin adding more sticks/branches to the existing nest. Trip after trip…one branch at a time.
The nest now large enough that while incubating Mrs. Osprey is completely out of sight.

As well with the summer place now opened for another year…there will be even more Osprey sites to check.

Think it’s safe to say I’ll get my “Osprey Fix” for the summer.

Like all birds the Osprey adapt to their surroundings and perch on whatever is available…in trees, hydro poles, fence posts or even a baseball backstop.
Well a morning visit pre incubation time found Mrs. Osprey on a low perch.
