Judy and I were out in the boat today, running up and down the cove here in Maine for the first time this year (don't ask why it took half the summer to re-launch the boat) and we saw 6 osprey nests, each of which had a couple of fledglings hanging around waiting for a parent to deliver them fresh fish.

There was also one massive adult bald eagle but we're still unable to locate its nest.

I still remember when the osprey population had been reduced by DDT to one nesting pair, back in the 1960's. They certainly have come back strong, and are really beautiful to watch.

Cheerily,
