Did see one on owl box last week, and neighbor said there are a couple near her.

They'll probably be here until September-ish.

'Ours' aren't tagged, so don't know how far south they go, but return here St. Pat's Day.

If you recall there were unfavorable winds holding them back, and the Cape May Observatory had fewer sightings in early March. Your general area had many osprey missing their mates, some had to find new partners, delaying matings. They *finally* starting arriving with the great migration of Gannets who were traveling with the great fish migration.
