The pair, Bea and Jasper, have been working on rebuilding their nesting site. Below are photos from earlier this month and with a shot from today so you can see their work. The nest bowl is a little closer to the side than what I was wishing for, but they know best. Maybe in March we will see a clutch of eggs.
With Bea and Jasper's return to the communication tower we hope to see some nest building activity take place. Only about two new sticks have been placed on the platform, so the pair needs to kick it into high gear to have a proper nest for their impending clutch. Maybe the cool temperatures is hampering their search efforts for nesting material.
Welcome to our 2022 Osprey Season at Palmetto Electric
The osprey pair, Bea and Jasper, have returned for their 12th season. The pair has produced 16 offspring since their tenure at this site. Our nesting site is located about mid island and is situated around several water ways providing Jasper a multitude of options to feed his family. We welcome our viewers comments and anticipate a season with new chicks to watch grow.
The red glow on the birds is from the beacon light atop our communications tower.
