Description
The Osprey couple has arrived back at their Manitoba nest. I first spotted the male on April 19 and a couple od days later the female was back protecting the nest. As happened last year there was a third Osprey hanging around hoping to take over the nest as well. The couple is actively mating and the male is bringing back the fish. I hope this year they have a successful nest as last year something went wrong and no chicks were ever seen.
