Last year, while Nest #1 was unattended, the V-shaped branch that held it cracked and fell to the ground. I thought that perhaps when the ospreys returned, the male would decide to build a nest elsewhere. To my surprise, I looked up one day recently and he had already completed a new nest — same tree, same location. His mate met him back here, and they are busy preparing for babies!
