prevailing opinion / wisdom is this is either a koi or goldfish that has
made its way out into the world at large. From the responses, this is more

Some fellow osprey watchers and myself have been observing the three chicks
atop the power tower on the Brooklyn Park side of the Coon Rapids Dam and two
of the three chicks have now fledged. This is particularly good news in light
of some losses at some of the other osprey nests.

There was an osprey stealing a stick from an eagle nest yesterday along CR 5,

Several ospreys have been seen returning to their nests in the past few days in
the metro

frozen lakes.
With many lakes still frozen we expect we might see them sporadically as they

Interesting observations regarding the Osprey and compost at Poplar Lake.
Several of us have observed that behavior there also. I do not think it is the
