Building of the Nest

The saga of the Osprey nest site on Murlark Ave in West Salem continues.  We orginally spotted the female at the nest site on Sunday.  Monday we checked, no birds.  Today, Tuesday when I checked the female was back on the pilots perch.  I stopped to take some photos, and she started giving an excited cry, and then the male flew in with this stick.  A fresh cotton wood limb with buds. It seems that they are getting right down to business.
