Osprey "One"
Spring layover along the beautiful banks
of the South Fork Holston River in
eastern Sullivan County continues at
Riverside Road today, 21 April 2015.
Osprey "One" continues to refuel its
body for the continued coming migration
to a favorable nesting area in the north land.
His old favorite dead tree fell in a storm
but he now appears to have taken up a
more favored perch just yards away on the
same side of the river and slightly up stream.
He is now known to have been back again
this year for the11th day.
Meanwhile, downriver a few miles another
Osprey was still on its favored hunting and
layover perch which has now been used for just over two weeks.
For several years, this site fidelity for weeks each spring, clings to
virtually
the same tree and limb.
Let's go birding . . .
