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!

13:10 Both birds present at the nest as 3rd osprey is flying overhead.  F is low incubating low in the nest & M is perched on the side of the nest vocalizing.  Extra ospreys have been flyiing over the WSA off & on all morning.  The air has been filled with territorial vocalizations.
