The Ospreys are Back!

I was taking Daphnie for a walk in the Dog Park today and noted an Osprey sitting on a nest. The Town of Whitecourt installed a telephone pole and a nesting platform in Rotary Park about 8 or10 years ago. It has produced 2 to 3 chicks each year. The post is set back a bit from the walking trail, and a sign display gives the Osprey story. It is really pretty nice! Today was snowing, blowing and downright miserable and not conducive to photography so, here is a shot or two from last year

Lets hope this years nesting is as successful as this!
