have had 2 osprey show up almost daily for the past week in my yard along the
Fox river in Racine County (town of Waterford). If I understand correctly, they
are early migrants. I've posted some pictures if you care to take a look. In
one instance, there was a brief turf battle between the osprey and a red tail
hawk. I also had a turkey vulture cozy up to the osprey within inches on a
branch. Never seen that before! They sat together for about 5 minutes before
the osprey flew off. Images can be see at

I'm pretty sure I saw him again Sunday morning on the west end of the Wehr
Nature Center pond. It was brief viewing but I did get one poor photo of
him flying overhead.

I guess the DNR did put up a nesting site at Big Muskego Lake, so maybe
that's where he is from?
