Our Osprey couple remains in trouble. The female disappeared for two days, but is back in the area this morning. She is spending very little time at the platform. At one point there were four Osprey, including her, in some kind of chase-fight near the platform. Meanwhile six others could be seen from our sun room - two happily perched on their nest at the south end of the Tunis Mills Bridge, and four others in the air above the bridge. Our pair (if they really are paired any more) seems at a loss as to what to do next.
