Osprey Again
Here are three more photographs of the juvenile Osprey taken two nights ago. There are three young birds on this nest and they will probably fledge this week. It is amazing how well the Osprey population has increased over the past few decades. In the Lewes, DE area they are nesting on almost every conceivable surface.

Osprey Offspring
Osprey young are in the process of fledging now, so if you keep a sharp lookout you might see them perched on the edge of the nest contemplating that first jump. I was able to get close to a nest tonight with some soon-to-be fliers. Here are two from tonight with more to follow in a day or two.

Osprey
Ospreys are common here in Delaware during the summer months. They have come back from near extinction decades ago due to DTD getting into their bodies and making their eggs too thin. Now they have returned to a healthy population and we enjoy watching them along the coast.
