Ospreys nest in the Port of Olympia. This Osprey is the first for Erika and my 2021 year list. On 31 March a bird flew around the south end of Capitol Lake. I did not think too much of it until I opened my eBird checklist and discovered the species unreported in the area. Further research uncovers a few other observations in Olympia on the same day. In any case, I did not get a photo until the Osprey flew back towards the north, so this bird was quite some distance from us. Osprey field marks include its white underparts, dark wrist patches, and a long, “crooked,” “M-“ shaped wingspan.
