Maybe the same osprey came back today - I watched it circle for about 5 minutes over Beebe Lake, but then had to go back to work. Still circling when I left. Also saw a beaver cruising the waters. -Liisa

It circled a few times, then flew off to the south. Meanwhile, two kingfishers were pursuing each other, sometimes right below the osprey. About 20 minutes later, another, or maybe the same osprey appeared, slowly circling and hovering above the lake as it moved from west to east. Very nice!
