Saturday's Critters #430

The Osprey have returned to New Jersey.

Adult Osprey return each year to a nest in the same area in which they were born,

often the same nest they occupied the prior year.

If you observe a pair of Osprey in late February or early March, 

they are probably the same pair you saw during the previous year.

Osprey are very large, distinctively shaped hawks,

          also called sea hawks, river hawks or fish hawks.

 

 

I think I have been spotted...look at those eyes, look at those talons. 

It is a really large nest.

Here for many years it is always fun to watch for their return.
