Great pics Cal and great updates Cal & Jude; thank you!

I've been wondering as everyone else has, when the eggs will arrive; so I looked back at my pictures from last year and the first reference to an egg was in this one, dated 4/22/2009. Mom arrives to take over incubating the egg from Dad.......

1:15pm mating.

Now mom is doing a bit of house cleaning. Beautiful afternoon, but windy.
Cal & Peggy, I truly enjoyed the pics and report from today and from last years egg laying time frame.
Peggy, maybe this is the time of year to leave trinkets of colorful cloth and other interesting items.
Maybe I can make a trip up next week.:dry:

6:10 this morning: Snow on the nest! One of the adults is there but I can't tell who it is. It's snowing pretty good at the moment.

APRIL 16, 2010 SNOW ON THE NEST

Good morning Ayers Fans,

Hi Jude,
Oh my - snow! Beautiful picture of the nest. Thank you. Do you have snow at your house too?

Due to the size of the single O on the nest earlier, thought it was Mom but did notice a lighter colored chest so was not certain. When 2nd O arrived there was no doubt that it was Dad on the nest alone and not Mom. Mom arrived later and got quite the welcome.


7:37 am
Mom arrives.


Morning bonding ritual.


Dad leaves; Mom soon followed.

Great pictures Jude & Cal; thank you! Snow on April 16; yuck! It's already melted here in Concord, but I still don't like it!

Mom's alone on the nest right now, just sitting and looking around. At least I think she's just sitting. Since they arrived early this year, I wouldn't be surprised if the eggs arrived earlier too. With the amount of times that these two bonded, we should have about a dozen eggs!

7:08pm Poor mom looks miserable in the lousy weather today. It isn't easy being an Osprey

Good morning Ayers Island,

6:32 am, Mom's on the snow covered nest by herself at the moment. Dad paid a visit earlier.

6:11 am,
