| Note: | Alan B: Today April 2 I observed the osprey pair showing incubation behavior. I have some photos and will send you a couple later today. I also talked with someone who lives on the street and he reported (like I did yesterday to you) that he hadn’t seen the birds in several weeks. Well, they’re back and I just watched them trading places in the nest! Yay! | ||||||
