| Note: | Sandy P reports: I know the photo is not great but as you can see, we have an Osprey on the outside of the nest and he appeared to be eating a fish…. I think it was our male, Oscar, no striations on the chest. This is very early . I suppose it’s too late for the camera now…… NOTE: This nest's camera has not been operational since 2022 | ||||||

| Note: | Sandra P reports: Finally a photo of the 3 eggs. It’s interesting that Oprah sits on them until Oscar comes, she leaves and he sits on them until she returns. The change over is done very quickly so the eggs are not uncovered for a long period of time. Good parents. | ||||||

| Note: | Sandra P reports: Oscar just flew in with a big fish and gave it to Oprah and she flew away. Now he is sitting on the eggs. Amazing parenting. | ||||||
