It's that time of year again. The osprey almost have an internal biological clock, possibly the length of the day or environmental changes. They arrive within a few days of March 15th to our area every year. I thought I saw one at the neighbor's house on March 16th and quite a few more on the 17th. There are sometimes haggles over who gets which nest. I briefly saw 3 osprey at the nest, and later I thought there was some arguing going on. The geese have been getting more agressive in recent years too and sometimes decide it is their nest. At the moment, there are a pair of ospreys. We enjoy watching them, even though we make them nervous when they see us.
Not a good photo, but you can see there were three. The left one was obviously afraid and I believe the middle one was the agressor.
