Ozzie and Harriet return each year to our platform here on Crab Alley Creek. This year for 2026, we have a new Ozzie and Harriet, so it’s been interesting to observe this new pair bonding and going through the osprey dating rituals. Since we put in this platform several years ago, we have never been without a pair on the nest. They claimed the nest and settled in quickly, fending off other osprey interested in the nest and several bald eagles nearby trying to intimidate them. Our early years with this platform, we usually had two or three surviving chicks. They last few years, although there have been three chicks, but only one has survived each of the last few years.
