A male osprey has claimed this nest.
He is defending against all comers.
I was able to get a front view.

Other birds and fishing boats are returning after Hurricane Milton.

Both showed up about 7 am together.
She was here yesterday too - briefly.
Will she stay?
Cappy has really increased his nest building!

Tiva had not appeared on cam at the nest for 3 days,
then today she was back.  GOOD!

An eagle landed on the perch for a couple minutes.
