We've got sun and clouds today. Mild temperatures but the wind has picked up.
Mom osprey is sitting on the nest watching other birds zipping around her and the upper dam. One bird came pretty close to her and she seemed quite nervous at first. All is calm now.

All,

Thanks Jude! Glad to see the obs and pictures. The cam's not coming up for me just now.

Good Morning Everyone!
We've got a crystal clear picture of the nest this morning. Gorgeous!
In this picture mom is not moving at all. I think she is snoozing. She is certainly taking a moment for herself at the very least.

I just watched mom roll the eggs, then she settled down on top of them, probably for the night. "Good Night Momma Osprey"

Good Morning Momma Osprey

Ayer's Island,

Pretty picture Jude! You once asked me how I do close-ups: Have a recorder that does it for me; sometime I get a good image and sometimes not.

It's time for me to take my coffee outside to my little garden bench but wanted to check the nest first.

9:59 am, Flyby.


Arrival. Not sure which adult brought what to the nest. Either it was Mom who came in with her own fish or it was Dad with nest fluff.


Departure. Adult leaving did not take anything from the nest.

It's been three weeks, six days since mom started incubating the eggs.

It's been raining since last night. Mom osprey is soaked.
