We believe Bea has just arrived. She flew onto the platform at 12:39.

Welcome to the 2016 Osprey Season

We are beginning our 2016 osprey season at Palmetto Electric Cooperative located on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.  

We currently have a male osprey on the platform which looks very similar to Jasper. We are attempting to determine if it's him. If our previous pair Bea and Jasper return, it will be their sixth season atop our communications tower located at our district office off of Mathews Drive.

Since 2011 Bea and Jasper have produced 11 fledglings, the most productive pair since 2007 when the osprey cam was installed.

We've already been chatting with a few bloggers this year and want to thank our current viewers and welcome any new viewers/bloggers for joining us for this year's osprey season.

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