The Osprey are back in
Espanola. The birds disappeared from the area in 1983 when the former E.
B. Eddy had a disastrous chemical spill in the Spanish River. Several
groups spent the years following the spill rehabilitating the Spanish River
which has seen the return of many species. The Osprey also came back but
their sightings are rare. A female Osprey caring for its chicks on
McCulloch Drive was photographed and the area in question is drawing a lot of
attention. The bird is a protected species. In the McCulloch Drive
instance, the Osprey is using a wood flat as a nest.
