Now, it has always been my feeling that in spring, the more westerly one is, the better the flights (not so true in autumn). Perhaps some vagaries of wind or weather is causing a shift westward of flights. Perhaps some Ospreyers from the more westerly parts of the state could comment on how their spring has been (numbers and diversity). It sure has been slow here!
