Osprey landing! Meeting up with his mate. [View all]

[elleng]

((Osprey pairs are generally monogamous and often mate for life. The male selects a nesting site in a dead tree, on a cliff, or on a man-made structure in or near the water. The pair collects sticks and other nesting materials together, but the female generally arranges the nest, which is large and bulky.

In the event that one mate dies, the other osprey will typically advertise for a new one. Male and female ospreys work together to raise chicks and cannot do it on their own.))
