Thanks for the report on the Os. They are still using the nest in that they occasionally add to it and sit on it—and nothing is more important to an osprey than his nest. His mate rates second. Most unsuccessful pairs leave on migration a bit early—probably in early August. I'd like to know the dates they leave so keep please observing them when you can.
It takes some young birds several years to get their acts together and this pair has all the makings of success—next year.
