Preparations are underway for Oliveea and Oscar. We are very excited for their return and expect them shortly. Last year they arrived at the end of February. Buzzards did a pretty good job of cleaning out sticks from the nest since last year. We placed a few large sticks in their nest as replacements and our Ospreys will remodel if they choose. This should provide a good base to start installing smaller twigs laced with wet/muddy vegetation they pull from the face of the dam. Spiders and their webs have been removed from the camera and the lens cleaned. Finally, we are working toward getting audio set-up on the nesting site but still have testing to perform.
Thanks so much for the update. I watch this site all year long and love being able to see both the nest and a good part of the lake! Sound will only make it better!
