This has to do with softness, but also they are known to choose materials that have the ability to repel insects, so the big piece of seaweed may be playing that role as well. And I have seen an osprey sitting on a nest this week, so they are indeed still nesting here on the island.Kim Tylerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09437705011017332871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19784312.post-1155935421510731222006-08-18T14:10:00.000-07:002006-08-18T14:10:00.000-07:00Hmmm.

That's strange. I've noticed that on other sites as well. Even if I click refresh, it doesn't bring up a new post. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, I love these photos of the osprey and the beach. I would guess the osprey is lining the nest, but it seems late for nesting. I'm going to check around and see what info I can find for osprey nesting behavior.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386655587963143782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19784312.post-1155674039391706922006-08-15T13:33:00.000-07:002006-08-15T13:33:00.000-07:00don't know about osprey and their habits, but I lo...don't know about osprey and their habits, but I love the beach photo with your footprints in the sand, meandering up/down the beach.
