Considering all the active nests last year and several new platforms erected for this spring, we could see 15 or more active nests in the area this year including Westport and part of Darien.

I hope we can get out before I take off May 1st.<br /><br /><br />I had my FOY Osprey at the Guilford Land Trust Trails yesterday.... a reliable spot for them. Haven't found nest yet, but they are there EVERY TIME I go between now and Sept. Perhaps they are just fishing the waters of a pond there, as it is rather close to shore and the wetlands over there.<br /><br />Sounds like a great day!! I thatched and mowed a lawn!<br /><br /><br />-Brian-Brian Websterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07032812018373218322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532212426205884676.post-90469522126572044292010-03-21T17:11:06.051-04:002010-03-21T17:11:06.051-04:00Thanks Nick, It was a fun day, hope you get out th...Thanks Nick, It was a fun day, hope you get out there soon!Larry Flynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07673474838770732399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2532212426205884676.post-84707986691041527932010-03-21T16:52:15.964-04:002010-03-21T16:52:15.964-04:00Ahh, can't wait for my first trip out there th...Ahh, can't wait for my first trip out there this spring.
