CAPTIVA OSPREYS - Andy & Lena
I'd been posting in "Forum Friends", here's a snap brought over, for the sake of starting this thread with something!

They still have 12-hour timer, dang
Lena's been chipping, here she's off for a bathe:
Back drying off:
I'm not sure whether I'll be following any Osprey nests yet... ???

Well I seem to be compelled... for the time being
Andy and Lena are meeting up on the nest but I haven't yet seen a fish delivery and I'm not sure this was Andy & Lena but musta been ???
They've posted a half-hour test of the new PTZ, it looks good, IMHO.
Dear BART (and anyone else who's interested and hasn't followed this cam in the past) - what blew my mind last year was the sight of Pelican "fishing expeditions" - I captured this and am hoping the PTZ will provide better views this year - it's a bit long but quite a lot of FF in it:
I can't wait for you and GEEMEFF to get your zoomers on it
.
Some info on Pelicans here.
That's not to belittle the Dolphins and other spectacles...

No sign of the new PTZ since the recent test.
Birds under the nest:
The nest was empty nearly all day - in the evening Lena was first to arrive, Andy got short shrift, with Lena's vocals resembling intruder protests if anything!
Kind regards, Ann
Unknown said:Did Andy arrive today? Last I looked a couple days ago Andy had not yet arrived and Lena was not responding to a new male, understandably, because apparently he was not supplying her with fish.
Ah well, that explains a lot - thanks, GARDENBIRDER:

I never managed to catch any info on YT Chat, but just now they're confirming it's a non-fish-giving, new male.
Hope I'm not duplicating.
SW Florida Bald Eagles (Harriet & M15) - 3 cams now live - I haven't seen anyone there yet but haven't tried hard.
I probably won't be following.

Was this a dolphin hunting? Can't see a darn thing:
Lena and the unwanted male have both been at the nest during the filthy day, but not together. Lena isn't spending the night on the nest - sensibly she's found herself a sheltered spot, I expect.
