As predicted (which does not happen often!), I saw my first Osprey at Jug 
Bay this morning (6:30 AM).  It probably arrived late yesterday; it was resting 
quietly on a nest platform out back when I saw it.  The strong southern 
weather system yesterday gave birds a perfect opportunity to move north.  
Their timing is amazing; I 've been here eight Springs now and the first 
Ospreys always show up in last week of Feb (rarely), or first week in March 
(most years).  I bet there will be one seen today at Schoolhouse Pond also.  
They are a very reliable mark for the arrival of Spring.

Cheers!
