The C.G. ATON had been wiped clean of all nest material sometime since last July, but yesterday 2 ospreys showed on on the tower for the first time this year. Today, one day later, nest material sticks are now showing on the tower platform. they weren't there yesterday. This isn't a nest yet, but it sure is a good start!
