Seeing the nest sure did bring a lump to my throat, as does the thought of that tough old girl trying to make her way home, if it turns out to be her.

My thanks go to Perry, the bander and his wife, Alma, for going through their records and sharing the information with me. Thanks also to Boyd and Jo for taking us to the nest and the tour of the island.

I don't know if ospreys do attempt to return to their formative grounds. The people who knew the people who saw the banded bird have been away. Denis may be able to point me in their direction so I can start investigating further.

The limestone incline to the right of the photo leads to where the nest can be viewed.
