Welcome to the 2025 Osprey season. Bea and Jasper have returned for their 15th season atop our communications tower on Hilton Head. Jasper returned February 14th and Bea returned around February 22nd. 

The pair has a lot of work to do as there isn't much left of last year's nest. For most of this week the pair has been establishing their right to the platform, fending off crows and turkey vultures that have been residing on the tower for the past several months.

The pair is starting later this year as we have experienced colder weather than usual. Last year the first egg was laid on April 2, 2024, so we may see an egg around the same timeframe.
