Osprey, Eagle, & Leonard,Oh My!!

These were seen at Patuxent River Park on 3-13-12. Our Old Faithful original cam osprey has returned. In the morning he was seen snapping twigs off trees with his feet. Here he is placing them in the nest...
 In the afternoon, you can see he is sitting above low tide....
 Get your magnifying glass! Decided to check the nest across the River. Double-clicking will enlarge....
 If you enlarge, it appears that she is looking down into the nest. Chicklets???......
 Good old Leonard, the groundhog, was close to my parking spot. He was bravely checking the hole that the wind blown tree left two summers ago....
