I couldn't confirm the Osprey sighting, because my sister and nephew saw it,
but I just saw him for myself around 4:20 p.m.

Congratulations Cheryl,
You beat last year's first reported Osprey by 5 days, which was the earliest
date up to that point. That one was on the 31st. That report was yours also by
the way. Either the birds are arriving a bit earlier or you birders out there
are getting better at finding them. Our records show that in 2006 the first
Osprey was found on the Levisa River near Weller Yard by Ed Talbott II (that is
II not III) on April 7.
Cheryl, with your late date for an Osprey on November 3rd last year you now
have the early and late date reports for that species in the area.
Last year on March 28 Lynda and I drove up into the Head of Slate Creek, the
next large hollow past the road that turns up the mountain to our place, and
found 3 Louisiana Waterthrushes and an early Black-throated Green Warbler.
So today we made the same trip, hoping to find some early arrivals, but it
was not to be. The only birds we found at all were a couple of Downy
Woodpeckers and a Carolina Chickadee.
If some of you don't remember the hollow I'm referring to, it's the one where
the road crosses the creek several times and where we usually see the
Swainson's Warblers. Lynda and I were sadly surprised to see heavy logging
going on near the last house in the hollow. Fortunately, the best part of the
hollow begins just past that, and so far it has not been disturbed. Let's hope
it stays that way.

My sister just emailed me and said the "Buckeye" Osprey is back... She
teaches school in Pike County and saw it on the way to school.
