I'm lucky if I see 2 hummingbirds a year, and neighbor dramatically cut honeysuckle so not expecting any!

Theyre busy making nests along the Cumberland River.

there were no Ospreys passing through at the Cape May Observatory today.

I suspect HE knows NOW!

(I am so curious about their communications! Such a pair!)

... the water temperatures in the region near you were warming above 50 degrees, and fish were on the move. Hope it's a much better year for them.

and HOPE neighbor gets a reasonably-priced bamboo remover, as I canNOT see the nest now, either from my 2d floor window OR adjacent parking spots.

I've never seen them CATCHING a fish, but just now saw one flying past my window(s) CARRYING a fish (and another or the same one, just flew past in the opposite direction, NOT carrying anything!

to clear your view. I just use a handsaw on bamboo that is about 15+ feet tall.

Isn't the male Osprey expected to make gifts of fresh fish to his mate? Then he might have to search for fresh branches, while she searches for clumps of grasses for the nest. That might explain all the flybys you are seeing.

Neighbor/landlord's working on bamboo solution, and as I don't OWN the place, I pretty much go along with his endeavors. He's used handsaw type instruments in the past, but it's way overgrown now.

ME TOO!!!

Great news!
