(4,166 posts)flying to the west of their nest. It was black winged and I haven't seen any bird locally with such a large wingspan.
When one of the adults is on the near by lamp post i can clearly see the white chest. But this one was too far away and flying away from me to see it's front.

(4,166 posts)their nest on power poles. That wasn't good for the power company or for the birds. So we got poles with platforms on top to attract the Osprey to build there. I don't know if it was done by the power company or the State Fish & Wildlife. Anyway, it worked. And i now live close to an Osprey family.

I'll be sad (and bored) when they leave.
