NESTING OSPREYS AT BELLE HAVEN MARINA, ALEXANDRIA, VA

Spent several hours on Friday the 18th and again on Monday the 21st watching the nest from the marina. It was less than 50 yards from the shore and only about 10 feet high. Two of the 3 chicks survived and are almost full grown. They both ate on their own and were fed by Mom. Dad made only 1 trip to the nest during the time I was there and stayed less than 2 minutes.
