Good morning Jude, JudyB and All,

Nice reports Ladies.

Good morning, CAL and Jude!

Slightly off topic, but I'm finding it interesting how similar the schedules are at the Maine/BRI osprey nest and this one:

A few minutes later, both nests were empty.

"Slightly off topic" or not JudyB, they are osprey and we are interested. Thank you.

BTW, do we have a thread for the BRI Osprey? Have gotten some nice pics while watching the BRI cam but did not know where they should be posted. Have been rather "scattered" lately with my connectivity issues.

Have not watched Ayer's much today but did see Mom on the nest this afternoon.

I did see Mom this afternoon.



And I actually had a similar pic from this morning that I never found time to post. I think they are definitely working on a family of young osprey!

(Not sure how often I'll be able to post, but I'd also like a thread for the BRI osprey nest in Maine, so will set one up. Here's the link!)

You sure did see Mom. Hoping to see eggs soon. Thank you for the new BRI thread, JudyB

Am going to try to record Ayer's morning nest entry.

Add: Good morning Ayer's Island,

5:57 am,
Mom in from the right; she does some flapping and sits facing front.

Good morning! It's pouring rain this morning. Mom is standing on the nest looking around. She looks like she could use an umbrella.
Mr. Osprey just flew in and made his own umbrella over Mrs. Osprey, and then he flew off (bonding time).
Cal and JudyB Thanks for the pics and posts. When do you think the eggs will be coming?

Good morning, Jude,

The weather sure did take a turn. Was watching when Dad paid his morning visit. Thought maybe they might have eggs early this year (not sure why). Believe the first egg last year was about the 22nd. Will have to go back to check the archives.

6:29 am,
Dad, "Mr. Osprey", arrives. He was gone by 6:30.

Hey, great picture CAL!!! You caught the "umbrella" act by Mr. O. How cool is that? Glad you were watching at the same time.
If they lay eggs next weekend they'll be Easter Eggs

Jude, checked the archive for first egg last year:
