Our resident pair came back last week. I think it was Thursday when I first heard them.

They have arrived back to the nest on top of the Fire Dept. siren in Leonardtown. They have to be deaf.

Last year I had a pair try to take over my pier. They're back! How can I keep them away? They CAN NOT have my pier!

If you put in an Osprey pole off your dock about 50 yards they will nest there and you won't have a problem. They will also keep other ospreys away. Otherwise you'll have to clean off your dock on a daily basis until they get the hint

There was a big eagle out on the front lawn yesterday - that was really awesome - stayed for easily ten minutes or better.

Looking for pie......

That's what l did last year. Another osprey came along and fought the other. Epic fight over the water. Went inside and when I went back out one of them was floating. They didn't come back after that.
Don't know about a pole, I'm on the Patuxent and the water is super deep 50 yards off my pier.

Sure wasn't a vulture? They can wait a long time
