I've seen them past years 'borrowing' the nest briefly, and did see osprey in past days, but didn't see osprey this morning.

I learned: 'Canada geese are notorious for stealing osprey nests but are usually pushed out by the osprey.' So I'm waiting for 'my' ospreys to evict the geese so osprey can return to their/my nest. They were here Thursday.
