Good Afternoon Dunedin! Good Afternoon All!

Today was an exciting day for me, as Don and I drove up to Dunedin to visit the Osprey nest. I had the pleasure of meeting Sparky Jones who is the Dunedin Osprey Cam Communications Director. We met at the nest and enjoyed watching Mom and chick peek over the edge at us. We even got to see Dad fly in but it didn't look like he was bringing a fish.
Sparky talked about how the cam came about... What it was like at the beginning and the plans that are in the works for more improvements at the nest for next season. Until Sparky makes this information public, I'm not at liberty to mention the changes.

I captured some pictures of Mom and chick peeking over the nest as well as Dad flying in. I will post them, including one of Sparky and me with the nest in the background. These were taken between 10:00am-10:30am.
This is certainly one of the highlights of our trip to Florida!


Nest at the putting green.


This is the sign at the bottom of the pole where the nest platform is attached.

Mom and Chick


Mom is alert to her surroundings


It was interesting to hear the changes in Mom's calls when another male was near. She is keeping a close watch.
