Bald Eagle nest update… Well, as you can see these are not Bald Eagles. Looks like a pair of Ospreys have moved in. I’ve been keeping an eye on this nest since January but unfortunately, the female Eagle disappeared in late February. The male Eagle hung out at the nesting site as recently as last week, but now that the Ospreys have arrived, he has gone too! So, going forward I’ll still be monitoring this nest but it now appears that instead of Eagles, my focus will be on this family of Ospreys. I’m admittedly a little sad that I won’t get to see eaglets this year however, I’m looking forward to following the nesting progress of the Ospreys in the coming months.
