The Osprey nest at the Belle Haven Marina on the Potomac River just south
of Old Town Alexandria has produced two young, who have fledged. I have
been monitoring activity at the nest and shooting video of it since
February. In late March, I posted a video on YouTube called Osprey Love
Nest about the behavior of the birds before the eggs were laid. I have just
posted a sequel called Osprey Love Nest 2: Feeding and Fledging, which
examines the behavior of the Ospreys since the hatching of the eggs. The
new video can be seen at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1PN1YiF3rc ;.
