Mama Shows Up April 12

The evening of April 12, 2011, the first sign of a Female Osprey helping out around the nest. She spent most of her time away from the nest, letting the male do the home maintenance.

The happy couple check out the nest progress.

This shot shows both the bright yellow eyes that typify an adult Osprey, as well as the "Necklace" indicating a female.

The water tower makes a lovely backdrop for this flypast.
