As Ospreys seem to be more circumspect in where they put their nests in King Township, landowners are going to greater lengths to prevent people from trespassing on private property. Birders hoping to see Ospreys may find it harder to spot this grand fish-eating raptor. At left is an Osprey nest I spotted last year, on Dufferin Street, near the hamlet of Snowball, and which I hope hope is re-occupied in 2020. It is high on a hill in the middle of a large estate that is well-fenced and signed against trespassing. At least this one nest is visible from the road and one can only hope the nest will be occupied again this year. Unfortunately, it will take a spotting scope to get a good look at any activity.
