The osprey have returned to the nest at the Landings Golf Course :woohoo: They have been coming and going for the last few days, bringing in a few sticks and nesting material. I'm keeping my fingers crossed they will have some fuzzy little ones this season :luck:

I checked the cam today and had a nice surprise! Two Great Horned Owls visited the nest shortly after midnight today, Oct. 1st. The male brought prey, the female dropped in and grabbed it then the male flew off. The female ate the prey then explored the nest for awhile, then flew off 18 minutes later.

Here is the link to the video on YouTube: Great Horned Owls visit Savannah Osprey Nest

A pair of Bald Eagles was seen on the Landings cam perched in a tree near the Osprey nest tree on Oct. 2nd. Here is a video I recorded. Bald Eagles Near Osprey Nest
