Cedar Key has hundreds of Ospreys – nesting on platforms, pine tree snags, rooftops, and even the tower of the local Episcopal church. Like the Bald Eagle and Peregrine Falcon, Ospreys have overcome many complex threats—including DDT damage to eggs and habitat loss. We have an Osprey family living next door on a shed roof and another across the street. They are wonderful birds to watch flying, fishing, or just tending the nest.
They had a nest a stone’s throw away and were continually adding materials such as sticks and moss.
On every walk we saw Osprey nests.
We have returned to Vermont as spring migration arrives. The car is unpacked, the camera files are next. Happy Spring.
