Ospreys Return To Sandpoint Nest
A high-flying soap opera is underway in Sandpoint. Ospreys have migrated back to the Idaho Panhandle to win female affections, breed and nest, and there's quite a show going at the platform under the unblinking eye of a web cam at Sandpoint’s War Memorial Field. When I clicked on the Sandpoint Osprey Cam at 8 a.m. this morning, a pair swooped up on the platform and mounted for a little foreplay. They're definitely serious. But then a third bird, apparently a second male, tried to move in. Feathers flared; wings spread; eyes pierced the sky as sharply as talons. General Hospital was never this good/Rich Landers, Outdoors. More here.
