:5val: From Mod Poppy:

Hello, osprey fans!

Personally, I would say 2016s Hog Island Osprey Season has come to an end. No sightings on the favorite roosting spots Only calls in a distance, most probvably from other migrating ospreys. Little B and Eric are surely off for new adventures and Steve for a long much deserved me-time.He needs much relaxation after this record-breaking fishing season! May they all find their destinations safe and sound. And don't forget: To love means to let go.

Have safe trips all! And we await your returns Steve and Rachel!!! :flirty:

Hog Island

:clap: Rachel arrived @ 3:51 PM ET on 4/10/17!

Boathouse nest with Mr. and Mrs. Boathouse is 1/4 mile across the bay on mainland, I think. Chat for both nests are together (confusing) and inlet cam shows boathouse nest and couple @ this time.

They said Rachel started hollering @ Steve on arrival pretty much! :teehee:
And she continues to do so!

:clap: From Poppy:

Happy Monday, osprey friends!
We received words from Steve Kress, osprey fans: "I compared this year’s photos with some historic photos and this looks like Rachel and Steve to me. My best, Steve"

One of the things that makes following this nest (and other nature cams) so interesting, is discovering new behavior. In recent years we witnessed Steve, improving his nest duty skills - from provider to a bustling carer of eggs and chicks. Starting last year, he is spending more and more time on the perch. That may have different reasons: The new perch itself, providing more space, the presence of other, intrusive ospreys in the area, or last but not least the eagle attacks. It is upon speculation what the true reason might be. However, it is fun to watch him more often close to the nest. Last night, he joined Rachel for the sunset.
