On Mother's Day we went for a wonderful walk at the GBNWR. Late in the afternoon we saw 6 (!) ospreys circling overhead from the path on the north end of the Weapons Storage Area. At the same time I could see a F(?) sitting in nest #3. They seemed to be in 2 groups of 3, & flew off in different directions. ~5 minutes later we saw 3 ospreys overhead from the parking lot, & ~10 minutes later we saw 3 ospreys over Peverly Pond. It's a busy place over there at the Wildlife Refuge!

12:30 I'm surprised that these birds aren't incubating yet, but F is standing tall on the side of the nest. M was perched in tree along the fence at the north end of the WSA.
