But last spring a pair of bald eagles were admiring the nest when the seahawks returned to it. So the ospreys went elsewhere. A few weeks later, the eagles moved on. I was actually rather glad the ospreys didn't nest there last spring, as they do fish out our koi pond for that last desperate week before ejecting their young.
