Welcome to our 2021 Osprey season

We open our blog with viewer Sharon spotting an osprey on the nest this past Saturday, January 30th. Upon viewing the nest today the osprey is Jasper, the male for the past 10 seasons.

We await his mate, Bea, to arrive as this will be her 11th season on the nest with Jasper. Last year the pair had two chicks with only one surviving - SZ.

The nest is located about mid-island and has several shallow creeks nearby where the pair catches flounder and various other fish for themselves and their chicks. We hope 2021 brings the nest healthy chicks and also sees a brighter year for us all.
