Osprey return to Colorado, begin work on their summer home

Right on time. I spotted my first osprey of the season last week but didn’t come away with any worthwhile captures. This weekend, I had much better luck as more returned to the Centennial State and the residents of one of my favorite nest stands arrived.

The pair was quite busy getting things ready for nesting season. Well, the male was busy, as he did quite a bit of work while the female pretty much just stood around and supervised. 😉 In between deliveries of sticks to add to the home, there was time for some “recreation” as the pair began working on making those babies.
