Osprey (KY)

Species: Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
Location: Lake Barkley, KY
Status: Inactive nest

	April 24 - No sign of an Osprey yet, but a beautiful shot of the sun on the water. To our dismay, the Ospreys ended up nesting in an adjacent platform which did not have a camera connection.
	April 20 - A pair of Eastern Kingbirds is perched on the basket. The white-tipped tail is a key field mark in identifying these birds.
	April 17 - While this is not a cavity-nester cam per say, we have captured more images of Eastern Bluebirds on the basket perch than the intended non-cavity-nesting Osprey!
	April 16 - The lake bed has completely flooded but still no signs of interested Ospreys.
	March 30 - The lake bed is beginning to rise. Several Ospreys have been seen in the vicinity of this platform.
	March 18 - A Canada Goose decoy is placed on the steel frame basket in order to test the image quality.
	March 17 - First images from the Kentucky Osprey cam! Notice the bluebird in flight. The steel frame basket sits about 25 feet above a soon-to-be-flooded lake bed.
