General Comments: I spent 4 and half hours at the nest today (also 1-2:30) in an effort to try to see whether there are two osprey. One has been here since 3/31. Has been actively building a nest and catching fish. I thought it was the male but after getting better looks think it’s definitely last year’s female. There have been a couple possible sightings of a second osprey on the area (on another pole) but I am almost certain we are all seeing the same one. Sadly. Will keep checking!
