I was on my way home from Money Point this am when I saw an Osprey (male?) delivering a stick to the nest. Didn't realize there was a nest there! I could see the nest, which looked small. Will return later to observe/photograph.

In afternoon, observed Osprey on the nest. The nest isn't large and is somewhat hard to see. The Osprey's head is just visible. Have posted 2 photos. They are the first 2 in the series.
