The resident osprey are late this year. There have been two that have stopped in and checked out the nest on the island, but neither were the resident birds. Yesterday, there was a bald eagle sitting in the osprey nest and I thought mean thoughts at it until it left. While eagles look majestic, they really are thugs. I'm not at all fond of them. But today, there was an osprey on the nest who looked like it was at home, so fingers crossed.
