10:12 AM - Osprey was periodically dive-bombed by Fish Crow. It looked like fresh nesting material was in top of cell tower. Think this is a male Osprey. Will try to get another look tomorrow. 55°F and sunny. Parked under, and then beside cell tower. When I saw it here last week, it was far away and I could not be 100% sure it was an Osprey and not an Eagle; so I didn't log it. When the same thing happened today, I turned around, drove back by to park, check and photo it. In 2019, Osprey arrived here 2/26/19. In 2018, first Osprey I saw of year was also here, on 2/28/18!
