Thanks rysx! Saw on chat that Steve arrived @ 3:52 from his migration yesterday and he was involved in a fight. Hope all are well. I still have not seen any word from Audubon, but all are agreeing Rachel and Steve are home. :eggup:

I just saw an interesting action on the nest. Steve and Rachel were sitting, positioned against a relatively strong wind, Steve in front of her. He spread his wings and let the wind raise him upwards and backwards. Then he landed on her and they were mating. After a few moments he flew forward, still with curled talons.

April 28 Tuesday
Rachel is vocalizing almost non stop at dawn.
Does anyone have a guess - are there still 2 males vying for her?

rysx - what an amazing and unique series of pics!
WOW! A helicopter osprey! Um, there is a heli-plane called an osprey! LOL!!!!

INTRUDER - Dont mess with Steve and Rachel

According to Explore there have been 3 intruders.
Speculation they could possibly be previous years offspring.

Rachel displays defensive attitude. An intruder, obviously, flies by, very close (1:20 p.m.)
