I guess that would be "From the Department of Buck Owens and the Buckaroos." While out doing some walking independent of the Atlas - I had an excuse, a meeting away from my block - I found this Osprey nest on a tree in Mass Audubon's Waseeka Wildlife Sanctuary in Hopkinton.
In other osprey news, as Walter Cronkite might say if he was an ornithologist, osprey banding on the South Shore, done completely from manmade nests, went exceedingly well, 26 chicks banded from Quincy to Plymouth. Quick math: First Atlas, 24 osprey entries from Possible to Confirmed, in all of Massachusetts; Second Atlas, 27 confirmed nests from Quincy to Plymouth.
Ospreys are back, baby!
