I'm compressing a few hours of the Marine Nature Study Area's ospreys to give you a feel for what is going on at the Oceanside, Long Island, NY nest. The female has been nesting here for a few years. Her mate is a young male.

-5 The male drags the sticks across his mates back. He keeps messing up his landings and I've observed him hitting her with sticks before. I feel for her.
