GOOD MORNING HALIFAX OSPREY..MON.APRIL 30, 2012

Gail and Carolyn.. NOw that would be a surprise i do love the thought...this is the first year the cam was streaming early on this nest.. all other years the cam didn't come on until after the Osprey restored their nest and laid their eggs..

Two Osprey on the nest..looking around

Hello Nova Scotia: Hello irish eyes! I'm here for just a few minutes but caught this out of the corner of my eye at around 1pm NS time

and in again1:18 pm moving big stick on left of stump

1:29pm thought these scaps may help with iding the osprey she ? has been in this position for a several minutes now


1:33 shifted to this profile

missed her leaving- but nest was empty by 1:40pm

Hi gd.. wonderful captures...what a sweet thought..thank you..... i looked at 1000's of pictures from the last two seasons...a big part of me is starting to think we have one if not two new Osprey on this nest... i am not sure.. this is not the best or clearest cam as we all know.. i think we will have to enjoy what is and hope these two Osprey bond well, restore the nest and with any luck we will see young ones on this nest....going by their behaviour ..i think if this was our resident pair we would be seeing a lot more nest restorations happening by now...JMO

Here is an article i posted on another site about nictitating membrane and some more info.......thought you all might be interested..
