She was seen in his company for at least three days (see photo above, the pair in display flight), with him bringing her fish to a nest where we even observed them mating: a first since the beginning of the project! Considering the rather late time of her arrival, it could be her first return from Africa, in which case she would still be too young to breed.\u00a0 She hasn\u2019t been seen again in the past few days, but may either still be discretely in the region, or else has continued her migration. In any case the excitement of seeing an Osprey pair getting so serious has just been extraordinary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Arthur (F12) on March 25, Olympe (F28) on April 1, and Racine (F29) on April 17, we still cannot confirm that Taurus (PS7) has returned to the Three-Lakes region.
