What do gardeners, baseball fans and osprey watchers all have in common? “ In the Spring a young man’s (OSPREY’s) fancy gently turns to thoughts of love”, and especially in the spring, “Hope springs eternal in the human breast.”
As gardeners planting seeds and wee plants, we can envision that perfect colorful garden that for me anyway never quite materializes. As a baseball fan I can envision my Cincinnati Red’s as World Champions come fall, or at least playing in the Playoffs.
As Osprey lovers, now is when we wait and HOPE and wait some more, while we envision first EJ’s return, then Oden and some spectacular sky dances. Then the mating, then three beautiful eggs and then (Oh, joy) three perfect little bobbleheads. Best not to think too much further ahead, lest we get into the time of parting and tears. But that is for later.
Now is the time of HOPE.!!

If it is as gray in Scotland and the UK today as it is here in Ohio, we can all use some color.
Hello June, we have had some very misty weather today but the sun soon came out! Beautiful blue birds! Not long now for the return of EJ and Odin. Hopefully Rutlands 30(05) will start heading north soon, but perhaps she's enjoying her sunny beach too much!
You have reminded me that I haven't posted a guestimated days till arrival yet, nor have I posted my guess with Tiger yet. Must do that soon.

After visiting 8 cams this side of the ocean, I finally found an osprey at Dunedin.
