Our male visited this morning - and again this afternoon.
He appears to be guarding nest from other osprey.

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.

Cappy has been busy all day -
defending his nest -
and fending off females!

F3 has returned - will she end up his mate?

LOTS of activity in the sky.

Jen can use the new PTZ cam.
She can see lots of activity, flying behind the cam.

youtube / commietube!
