Subject: Re: [Tweeters] Osprey over Puget Sound
Hi Connie,

This is especially of note considering our Osprey at UW and Magnuson left
early this year with the exception of a juvenile at 74th and Sandpoint.

I heard that the Osprey who depart late in the season are simply not
migrating as far and may possibly only fly as far as southern California
for the winter. Your thoughts?

Thanks,
Ronda
