An osprey was seen and photographed along the croton reservoir just south of entrance to muscoot farm in yorktown today. I saw an osprey on same reservoir on Rte. 119 on Dec. 9. I wonder if it’s the same bird. Either way Jan. 8 is the latest in season (earliest in year) I recall osprey in (Northern) Westchester County. (I have had a lingering chipping sparrow in my yard in Ossining but many more than usual seem to have been reported this year well after “normal” departure date. Still gets flagged “rare” on ebird. Granted not a golden crowned!)
