There were only 2 Osprey at Cape May today. Here's one of the earlier travelers at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, NYC.

Osprey flying over me so fast I hardly had time to adjust my camera settings. So great to see them again! Taken last Sunday at Jamaica Bay Wildlife Refuge, Queens County. Gigi A @gigi_nyc
