26 March.  After resting up a bit from the long commute, restoring the nest is the top priority. Both birds are busy bringing sticks and hay to the nest. Occasionally they find something interesting. 2 years ago, a blue teddy bear was in the nursery, and last year a large blue towel was the decoration. Do birds have a color preference?

23 March. Daddy Osprey returned from Central/South America on Friday, 21 March, and has been very busy redecorating the nest.  Mommy should be arriving at any minute.

Update- 23 March, -12:05 PM,--she's back! For the twelfth year, the pair will attempt to raise another clutch.
