Tweeters,
When I walked outside, I immediately heard an OSPREY calling above me, and when I looked around, five Ospreys were in the air between Turning Basin #3 and Hamm Creek, with an additional Osprey on the Hamm Creek nest-site. SIX Ospreys! What the heck is going on? At one time, both Hamm Creek adults were in the air flying at other Ospreys in what appeared to be territorial defense.

Birds seen during this scan include the following:
Mallard (2)
Common Merganser (3)
Double-crested Cormorant
Great Blue Heron (2)
Osprey (6)
Killdeer
Glaucous-winged Gull (5)
Rock Pigeon (8)

May all your birds be identified,
