| Note: | Kathy B: I heard the Osprey today, Thursday, March 13th for the first time this season. I spotted it across the lake from my house flying over the nature preserve area. I went out on my pontoon boat and watched it (unsure male or female) fly for about 30 minutes over the old nesting sites. It then flew to the north and I lost sight of it. | ||||||
