I have just had a look at Sanibel cam and I see an Osprey has arrived. No idea who it is - is it Ripply from last year or a new bird. I remember last year finding a facebook/blog page about this nest but for the life of me can't remember what it was so can't compare images from last season, so if anyone else can remember......
wonderful news karen m thank you so much for letting us know :-)

Thanks for the pics Mary, good to see the two chicks there.
Lowry - I guess we can say they are our first Osprey chicks of the season (that I know of) :-)
Thanks to karen m for providing the link to this nest in the first place.
Yes indeed they are Mary :)
And so the roller coaster begins :-) It is quite exciting seeing those little chicks. They are being fed right now.
Dad sitting pondering I am going to have to catch a lot of fish for the next 3-4 months. :-)
Yes Mary, I think they are the first chicks of the season, but plenty more to come hopefully both here and in the US.
Lets hope for a great season Lowry. Wishing them all back safely, to good weather and plenty of fish.
