Both birds have been in the nest for the last half hour, doing some major nest renovations and serious relationship building. They don't seem to mind the rain at all.

WOW! An Osprey in your yard! Lucky, lucky you, Cooper! And thanks for the Osprey link. I just checked it and there was an Osprey standing on the edge of the nest, then it took flight a few minutes later. So, they are definitely around! :D

Osprey - Nova Scotia / Oscar & Ethel

25 April 2013

Last night and this morning I had an osprey in my yard, so of course this morning I was busy Googling. Found this osprey cam. The site indicates that Oscar and Ethel are the usual residents but that they haven't been seen yet this year. This morning I did hear that two osprey had been spotted in the nest. No word yet on whether it is Oscar and/or Ethel. But, I'll be watching.  :)
