There is a nest on the cell tower now with an osprey. Saw today for the first time. There was no nest last year.

Have seen 2-3 osprey in the area, flying or being chased by other birds; circling the sky or perched on high branches looking for prey. Have NOT seen nest activity in the past 2-3 weeks. 3rd osprey may be grown baby.
