Welcome to the opening of Palmetto Electric's 2023 Osprey Season. Bea and Jasper have returned for their 13th season. The pair is a bit late in their return compared to previous seasons. The nest, atop of our 100' communications tower, is in desperate need of repair.

So far Bea and Jasper have accounted for 16 fledging juveniles. Last year the pair had three eggs, but Bea stopped incubating them mid April. She must have known the eggs were not viable. The last year a chick fledged for the pair was 2021. 

We welcome your posts and are glad to see the pair has returned safely back to their nesting grounds.
