The Nest Lord finds a Lady
January 6, 2025
8 am Lord Cappy arrives with a female - his queen.
He bonded by standing on her


January 5 they were seen mid afternoon.
Cappy hadnt been seen for several days.
It appears fishing is poor - low tides - and he's been feeding back by the bridge

Cappy ( M4 ) and his new mate

Yesterday Edie seemed to be courting other males.
They landed in nest, to be chased off, but kept returning.

Lloyd is a lazy lover.  He wont bring her any fish.
Only one or two matings daily wont produce eggs.
He isnt seen on cam much.

Getting late in season for eggs .....

Disappointed in Captiva osprey nest, we didnt get a mating pair. 
The male came and built a lovely nest - but didnt seem interested in a mate.

March 8 Edie, the female, gave up and flew off.

Guess I'll watch the Hellgate osprey this season.
