We have our first osprey of the 2016 season on our platform. More to follow.
This osprey is not Jasper from previous years.

Hopefully, he's just passing through, but it's nice to see a beautiful osprey in the nest.

Looks like new material in the nest. Have Bea and Jasper begun to get things ready?

We've seen a new male on the nest, not Jasper as of yet.

Happy 2016 (!)
I have seen the new male several times.

We thought this morning the male might be Jasper, but several of the head markings were different. The new male has brought in a few sticks and looks as if he might attempt to claim the platform for 2016. We'll have to wait to see if Jasper and Bea, from previous years, return to claim their old roost.

Good morning Beth! It does look like him, that's what I'm trying to determine, hence the close-ups. Hope to figure that out soon.
