A hard-working osprey has been flying back and forth over my house this summer. I hear his mate chirp when he delivers a fish to her and their three chicksânow nearly as big as he isâin their nest on a power pole a short walk away.
We are not the only neighborhood to have resident ospreys. Falmouthâalong with Marthaâs Vineyard and the Westport Rivers across Buzzards Bayâhas osprey densities as high as anywhere on Earth.
But our neighborhood osprey is different. Heâs a bit of a rock star.
I learned earlier this month that our osprey is Belle.
