I'd been intentionally going out of my way to pass by the cell tower on 
Jefferson Pike at Sam Ridley Parkway in Smyrna where Osprey have nested for a 
couple years.  I passed by on my way out of town on Wednesday morning and did 
not see them; however when I got back to town last evening the pair was sitting 
on their tower, messing around with their nest, and carrying on.  I guess they 
arrived in the last 2 days.   Car birding such as this is about I've been able 
to do for a while, but I'll take it!  Nice to see them back again (probably to 
the chagrin of the cell tower owner).

Cheers,
