Read this, on an Osprey site. View occurred a few hundred miles from me:

'I just saw an Osprey dip down and catch a fish on Kent Island MD south of bay bridge. Is this possible still hasn’t migrated? I wish I was fast enough to snap a pic as I was in disbelief one was still around, but 💯 sure definitely an Osprey.'

a few stragglers who stay well into snow time in November, then they head for the coast. You may start seeing some who don't migrate anymore due to changing climate.

but not by me.

Also saw that some hang around PA and further north, for a couple of months.

'Hawk Mountain migration count reports ospreys way into November, although the peak definitely is late August to mid-October.' Hawk Mountain is a mountain ridge, part of the Blue Mountain Ridge in the Appalachian Mountain chain, located in central-eastern Pennsylvania near Reading and Allentown.
