There was plenty of furor this spring over the Fresh Market ospreys’ nest.
Right now, all seems good.
The nest looked healthy yesterday. Mama was at her perch. Papa was probably at the beach, looking for food.
And Patricia McMahon was there, to take this dramatic photo.

Earlier today, alert — and disheartened — “06880” reader James McDonald posted a comment about our ospreys. I drove by the Post Road East site this afternoon, and saw the same thing.
The ospreys have abandoned the nest that was rebuilt by the inconsiderate and ignorant people who took it down.
Sparrows were in it today. I have not seen the ospreys in a week or so.
This incident should never be forgotten. The company that did it has effectively murdered a family of beautiful ospreys.
Two weeks ago, the ospreys were back in their nest. Property owner Regency replaced the platform they removed two days earlier. (Photo/Carolyn McPhee)
