We will see Bev and Heather what develops here. I am glad to hear Louis and Star are back and safe. If Iris comes back, I hope he stays away from her though.......and you know a new male would be welcomed with open wings by us.

Hi Carolyn , I second your comments

More detailed information From Facebook page of Montana Osprey Cams

Good Afternoon Everyone,
Dr. Greene sends his greetings and news that Louis and the female (aka Star) both arrived at the baseball stadium nest on Monday afternoon. We look forward to receiving some pictures soon. Speaking of pictures, we are thankful for local photographers that follow our ospreys and provide pictures. Jennifer Driscoll has followed the Baseball Stadium nest for many years and has faithfully documented these ospreys as they raise chicks. Louis Matteau has started following the ospreys more recently and enjoys sharing his beautiful photography with us. We appreciate their contribution, along with Dr. Greene and Dalit Guscio as they keep us informed of happenings at this nest.
In other news, Avery is on her way! As of April 1, she is close to the border. I have attached a picture of her track.
Keep those sweet thoughts coming for Iris as we anticipate her arrival any day now.
Kindly,
Sharon Leigh and the Montana Osprey Project
