Our female osprey Penny, was the first to arrive at the nest this year!
April 15, 2019 - Griffin arrives at the nest
Usually, the male arrives first. Not this year! Griffin must've had a few other stops to make!
April 18, 2019 - It appears the love triangle continues...
What the camera doesn't show is a 3rd osprey circling the nest. Penny & Griffin are protecting their nest from this intruder.
April 30, 2019 - Penny works to prep the nest
The male usually fetches most of the nesting material - sometimes breaking dead sticks off nearby trees as he flies past - and the female arranges it.
May 2, 2019 - Lunch time!
An osprey's food of choice is fish. While the female tends to the nest, the male hunts for the next meal.
May 3, 2019 - Crickets
Or should we say swallows? After May 3, 2019 there was nothing but swallows in the nest. Where did they go so early in the season? It's hard to say. We hope to see them back in 2020!
