But they have made a big comeback in the last few decades, and can be found nesting (on trees and old phone poles) throughout coastal areas of the eastern seaboard. There has likewise been a rise in osprey-cams installed by enthusiasts above nests so as to monitor their behavior from a distance.
This is one of my favorites. The male and female have moved in and have built a nest. Sometimes you can see them having sex. In a few weeks there should be eggs and then babies.
