Reelfoot Lake, Upper Blue Basin Lake Co. Spring is definitely in the air. Even though the temp today and wind has made for a very chilly damp day. Nice hearing all the songbirds. The Least Terns have returned (3-16) and could be seen fishing on the Upper Blue Basin along with the DC Cormorants as they make a drive. The Osprey have been in for at least a week and seem to be on nest. A pair has made a new nest directly across from Blue Basin Cove and guests have been enjoying watching them add sticks to the nest. One family was fishing and an Osprey almost got the bait on the end of the line. We had 4 nests last year on the Upper Blue and hopefully this is a new pair. The Bald Eagle young hatched about two weeks ago and their little heads can now be seen. Have been very busy with the business but am always looking and listening. Hopefully, spring will come in like a lamb.
