One osprey was observed flying over Smithtown High School West campus at 7am. This afternoon the pair was observed rebuilding their nest. Most of the nest was blown away by our crazy storms this fall and winter starting with Super Storm Sandy and ending the the blizzard of 2013. If you zoom in on the picture below, you can see one of the pair bringing in a branch for the nest.
We had hoped to have a nesting platform installed before the Osprey returned, but were unable to make all the connections in time. Hopefully, we can make arrangements for next fall. With enough interest and some money, maybe we could even try to get a camera installed!
Please share your observations in comments section below so that we can all keep track of our Osprey.
