I went over to the local Osprey nest in Queensbury and while I was there talked to a guy who has been documenting the pair for 7 years. This is Chief the male who was sitting in their favorite off nest perch while Sunshine the female was on the nest. they have raised 20 young in that time, one year he stayed until November with one that had some nest separation issues. He does the majority of the fishing eats the head and brings her the rest to the nest. While they are sitting on eggs they trade places until she returns and he goes off again.

First night he spread 6 bags of garbage in back of my truck all over. Second night he wanted my wife’s bird food kept in metal can on porch and destroyed her bird feeder’s. Happens every spring anymore, you think I’d learn
