I'm sorry that this is the best pic I can get this year so far. We have a very nervous Mom on the nest. Kerry and I think it may be the same Mom who abandoned her nest in the same location, last year so no one wants to get her upset.
She will begin to call out in the familiar Osprey call we all know here...but if we break the cover of the tree to walk out on the dock, she will "gobble/growl/cackle" rather loudly. She is clear about "Stay the heck away". The other nesting Ospreys never made that sound & I have never heard that sound before from them so it's kind of neat. We estimate her egg(?S) to hatch next week. We watched her for a while as she rolled her eggs, I counted 3 positions to roll from so maybe 3 eggs? We'll see soon I hope.
She might even let us get closer. The pier owner said he hasn't been on his own pier for a month! LOL Good man!
If you catch this Tom ...what is the noise she's making?
