Osprey nest, now awaiting their return!

7. A GREAT thing was, the year there were TRIPLETS, AMAZING, the parents DILIGENTLY feed each

EQUALLY! They were/are GREAT parents! I hope it continues.

I've seen the adults do the 'mating' thing, and a while later (will check, 1+ month later) eggs arrive, and later, kids hatch.

The whole family leaves their 'northern' home after the kids have learned to fly and feed themselves, go to south/central America, and as they're not tagged, I/we don't know where. SO, no action on/around the nest from late August/September until March (that's HERE, other parts of North America, timing's slightly different.)

The parents/adults return here every March, but the kids take a year or 2 'off' in their southern place, and at some point return north, but NOT to this nest; I don't know WHERE they go!
