Yesterday we saw an adult and one young osprey on the newly moved osprey
nest in the Burlington intervale, along the Route 127 bike path.      The
nest had been on a power line pole but was moved to its own pole in late
spring.  A couple of weeks ago we distinctly saw two young.

Good birding to all -- Horace, Winooski
