This from the PSNH website

"Osprey nests are among the largest built by any bird. Measuring at least 3 feet deep and 5 feet across, osprey nests are built primarily of sticks, with softer materials like bark, moss, or grass lining the inside. Ospreys locate their nests high off the ground—in trees, rocky outcrops, or on utility poles. Usually, ospreys return to the same nests every year, building the structure up over time."

So... I hope they will be back!

I watched the same "maiden flight" late this morning... it was wonderful..

I think we'll see them for a few more months before they head off to South America.

Guess they are sort of like many "summer folk" that come to the Lakes Region!
