Back in Nova Scotia we may see one or two or three or four osprey at a time. In Bokeelia, Florida, at the northern tip of Pine Island near Fort Myers/Cape Coral, there are MANY more osprey. And you can sure tell it's mating season! I bet there were 40 opsrey in the air at any given time, all swooping and calling, and trying to attract a mate. It was very cool. And there were so many with their fish dinners on tops of poles, it makes me wonder why they ever leave this area to go north, if indeed it is these ones that do.
