Posted on Osprey Cam blog 3-8-16:
Good afternoon from the lovely Eastern Shore of Maryland! This is a quick news flash: I just got home from work, and there is a lovely osprey sitting on the bare platform eating a great big fish. COM has been working on the camera since Sunday when we returned home from a trip to Florida, and we have a surprise for all of the camera watchers out there. With some help from the Conservancy, the plan is for the camera to go up tomorrow.

The light is not very good, so all I can say is that there is an osprey in residence, with no further characterization. That’s all for now, I was so excited I just had to share! Stay tuned for an update……………..

COM, Mrs. COMomma and Osprey Girl

I just turned on the cam - someone is walking around on the pier... maybe the cam will come on today!

Same osprey is currently on nest!

The size seems large as in female, but the coloring is dark as in male. I'm going back to the archives to refresh myself on their appearance. EDIT: I went back and they both look darker this time of year. So maybe Audrey. :teehee:

And we're live! Ready for season 2016!

Mrs. COMomma tells us there is one osprey that has visited the platform, but no word yet whether that might be Tom or Audrey.

Audrey (???)

(Has been there for a few hours; came in with a fish, had a few bites, left nest, then returned and finished the fish. Actually, there's still a bit of the fishy in the corner of the platform - red meat.)

I saw her too - my guess is Foster because she is thin.
I'd expect the full adult female to be more filled out

Could she be a little thinner d/t migration from South America ... I know that would sure do it for me ... as long as I didn't stop off @ McDonalds for a hot fudge sundae with nuts along the way ... :sum8:

Late afternoon, Audrey(????) gave an alert call and flew off the nest.

approx. 6:00 - 6:45pm (when I turned off cam), a different osprey was on the nest. Couldn't tell if it was male or female, but did appear lighter than the previous O overall in color. Also it was sitting on the right-hand perch closest to viewer (previous osprey was sitting on right-hand far perch).
(Did not get a picture. :tantrum2:

)

Cam is DOWN today.
