guarding from perch 20210409 150522 150553

Описание: Welcome back for the 2021 season. Thanks for watching the Salt Point Osprey Nest Camera, starring Orpheus and Ophelia, who have been nesting here since 2013. Orpheus and Ophelia reunited at Salt Point on March 28, 2021, seven days later than last year. Since then, they have been courting, flying together and sitting next to each other on tree branches. They have also been working on their nest, adding new sticks, grasses, and algae from the lake, and rearranging it.

Pardon the banging of the camera housing when it is windy and the intrusion of the housing in the camera's view. Birds landing on or knocking the camera housing moves this aroudn on occassion.

Ophelia and Orpheus have led an interesting life at Salt Point, warding off eagles and intruders, and raising strong fledglings year after year. READ about Orpheus and Ophelia and other osprey issues about Ospreys at On Osprey Time (http://tinyurl.com/y7mhpd3s).

This is a motion activated camera at the nest of Ophelia and Orpheus on Salt Point, Lansing, NY. The nest is built on a 55' utility pole a few hundred feet from the shore of fish-filled Cayuga Lake, the second largest of the beautiful eleven Finger Lakes. Thanks for watching!
Eyes to the sky!
