Exciting news! One of the new Osprey nesting platforms that we installed just over a week ago has already been discovered by a young (most likely male) Osprey! We can’t help but wonder if it could be one of the offspring of the Osprey pair from the nest at our Loomis Goose Creek Preserve. Either way, we are thrilled to see this youngster on the platform at the Chautauqua Golf Club and have our fingers crossed that it can find a mate and settle in soon.
