I haven’t posted an update on the osprey for a while so here is a pen and ink for fun. I think we have chicks in the nest, however we can’t see anything yet.
For about the last month a least one osprey has been hunkered down on the nest incubating the eggs. Late last week this pattern changed and now there is a lot of fussing about going on. I think they are feeding chicks or at least one chick. The chicks will hatch about a week apart.
The weather has been clear warm and windy here. In fact it hit 100 degrees last weekend. That is on the warm side this early in the year. I think it is going to get really hot up on that tower.
Beautiful, Tim. Love the last pic.

Great pen and ink drawing. I guess the ospreys built their nests creating a platform on top of just about anything, don’t they…

Thanks Mary. They do indeed. I will have another post in the future of many of the local nests. The variety is quite remarkable.

Osprey are intriguing. There are several spots on Cape Cod with tall structures that the village “fathers” have built precisely for the purpose of attracting the osprey to build nests. The birds always seem to have a collection of viewers and photographers around. They are fascinating, beautiful creatures. I love your drawing!

Wonderful drawing. We’ve got a nest of hawks perched on top of a huge stadium light across the street from where I live. It’s incredible.
