McHenry, landing on the Osprey nest at 9:15 AM. After a while it dropped down into the water inside the wetland mitigation area where it fed and preened for a couple of hours. Finally the cleanup crew encroached too closely and it flew across the harbor and into the cove, where Jim Peters tells me there is a Great Blue Heron rookery. You can see the entrance to the cove at the right end of the bridge where there is a large blue and white sign that says"Overflo". Best guess is that it will be back tomorrow AM. Stay tuned.
