Weekend Osprey Report

Posted on March 28, 2021 | 8 Comments

Today was a washout, weather-wise.

But yesterday was gorgeous. Carolyn Doan did what she often does, in early spring: She checked out our ospreys, at their nest near Fresh Market. Her report will brighten your day.

“Both were sunning themselves in their favorite pine tree. They seemed very relaxed.

“A small group of fans beneath welcomed them back north. The male has tried mating, but the female pushed him away. My guess is the female wants to rest after her big trip. He’ll have to work harder to impress her by bringing food and home improvement sticks.”

    Beautiful raptors. Beautiful photographs.
    Westport is luck to have them. The curious
    Aspect of their location choice is the distance
    From the nearest water. Since the Osprey diet
    Is almost exclusively fish they usual nest with a
    Line of sight to their next meal. Could The Fresh
    Food seafood manager be helping out here?
