Osprey have been overwintering in Central California for the last two decades
(at least). Interestingly, almost all wintering birds are males. I'm curious
about the sex of Oregon's birds.

We have had an overwintering Osprey on Bradley Lake for two of our last CBCs
for Coquille Valley (Bandon to Coquille). The Osprey has been around here
again this year and may be the same overwinter bird.

I'm pretty sue Ospreys are recorded on the Coos Bay CBC every year. I don't
know when that began, but I think there are often multiple individuals. I
believe these are really overwintering birds. The Eugene CBC recorded
Osprey at least once in the early 70s, I would think it was a late migrant.
i once saw an Osprey at Fernhill Wetland in mid November. No one else
reported it so I'd assume it was actively wandering. I would expect the
changed level of Cottage Grove Lake to be significant for the Ospreys. The
fish can't help but move about under changed conditions. Lars
