Osprey Vigil

Posted on March 1, 2013 by foresterartist

Waiting……

In his vigil, he sits on the tower waiting for his mate to return. He looks so lonely. He won’t work on the nest until she returns. Occasionally he leaves and comes back with a fish. Then, he sits and waits. He’s been here for five days waiting.

She is late….

On top of the tower with only an empty nest.

That does not look like a comfortable nesting place.

  It’s perched above a major river, location, location, location. They’ve been using it for decades.

  I hope she’s back soon too. Ospreys don’t seem picky as long as it is high.

I do hope she will return – I feel concerned about her … now you will have to let us know what happens!

I love those osprey nests – and this is a great contrast to the hummingbird cam I’ve been watching!

  Hummingbird cam, never seen one. We just have the feeders. I’ll glad you’re enjoying the osprey. I have a new osprey post coming.
