<br>
The last reported Osprey in Skagit County was in Oct 2023 and that <br>
was up river at<br>
Rasar State Park. I can't believe they are 'gone' (temporarily) from Skagit.<br>
My last personal sighting was last Summer ... but before that I <br>
regularly saw them at<br>
Wiley Slough ... which has been closed now for about a year (9 months <br>
overdue to<br>
reopen from first target date!).<br>
<br>
So have you been seeing Osprey but not reporting them on eBird? <br>
How about in<br>
Snohomish or Whatcom Counties?<br>
