There were two Ospreys flying around and landing in the trees at Virginia Lake this morning. One landed in a tree right in front of a window of a house on the north side of the lake. Hopefully someone was there to take a picture with their phone.

A noticeable decrease in ospreys as me and a friend always try to

gauge their numbers around St.John's which i atribute to the unending
storm's we have been getting in September,this is great news,still no
sign of the osprey that fished the pool in Bowring Park and flew up
towards Long Pond the water supply above and behind the hills
of the start of Kilbride.Although they spend a great time at their
nests at this time rebuilding,a man seen one fishing at Mundy
Pond,hopefully! we have at least four nests,but
i believe we are down to two to three,habitat loss is extensive around
the outer city limits which could be pushing them further but the
extent of good habitat within
Fresh-water bay,and surrounding areas is still prime local but no nest
in the bay since 2005.The possibility of juvies coming back after two
years,mind you 18 months
in South America may be down due to loss of nests in storms,i would
love to see their numbers pick up,

In terrenceville this year there is an increase of Osprey. Along the main stretch of road going into the town there are 6 nests within a 5km radius. In total I have counted 9 nest in the general area and I'm sure there are more. Two years ago there were only about 3 nests along the main road.

Hurricanes here,hurricanes on the rise making their jaunt from
Cuba,Dominican into Venezuela much harder,not that migration is ever
easy,and thru Rob Bierregarrd
study of tracking GPS,a problem down south is some of the farmers will
shoot them thinking they are a chicken hawk,another biggie is the big
increase in their numbers may have put great stress in number's
fishing over fish farms in South America in Columbia,Brasil and
surrounding areas including Cuba and the Dominican especially,they
farm Talapia as a major source of protein to feed high
populations,these farmers may not happy with the extent of their
numbers and dwindled them down,there is education for chicken farmers
but the farmer farming Talapia,the osprey better beware.All in all the
species is very healthy.Odd,i supported GPS tracking and i appreciate
the info. but to keep doing it and putting harnesses on osprey's after
7 year's of study leads to obssession,as this infomation was
docuemented in book's way back by great birders who tracked and
counted these birds in the numerous hawk hill lookouts from america to
south america,and compiled the info and wrote books,if you love
ospreys,you must read "SOARING
with FIDEL", a hilarious adventure of a rebel birder,the info David
Gessiner compiles on his journey is breathtaking,He calls the bird he
tracks Fidel but in the professional
group that tracked him,his name was BlueBeard i think,they have
interactions,it's such a natural,honest,piece of work,the interpreted
thoughts of Gessiner as compared
to Bierregarrd are drop dead hilarious,these two guys are the top
professionals,but would have to go a long way to catch up with
pioneers such as Denis Puleston and
his comrades who took egg's from healthy nesting sites and dispersed
them into nests of ospreys who could not hatch a healthy offspring,he
had a nest in his back yard,
thats my dream,a house,a yard,an ospry nest,and a pond and river full
to the brim of fish hahaha,have a good day.
