Early Tuesday morning, this bird was at the top of a tree. From a distance, it looked somthing like a dove with a wider tail! It was a flicker!...
An osprey chase ensued most of the day. Needed a super movie camera. One pair has settled on a nest platform pretty close to the office and early on, a juvie eagle and 4 osprey flew about. The eagle left, but this new pair evidently wants that platform. If this continues, a new one may be erected....
Everyone ate in trees that day, not at the nest!....
On the nest cam, a rounded object appeared in the middle of the platform.(you may want to enlarge) It was quite orange with white streaks and why did she roll it with her nose?.....
It's an EGG!!!! Was confirmed today (4-4) that both our cam nest ospreys are incubating eggs!!! They need more flugg. It's been very windy.....
Later in the day, more meals in the trees....
Patron saint for the ospreys should be lsla, Lady, or Marge (names for the same super bird)....

Hoping your osprey nest does well this season. Blackwater said they have a nest BUT there are 3 osprey! Lisa said there wasn't enough room for all 3
