Marge I. reports: I found this nest on 3/19/20. It is an active Osprey Nest on the water tower that was not there last year. The tower was recently repainted. Marge and a friend saw two fly off out of the nest and a third one was in the nest. NOTE: Because we just found this nest, we can not say when the pair first arrived. We will monitor this nest to see if we can determine why there are three ospreys, since it is early for any osprey to have hatched and be flying already.
