Here are some photos from the 2016 article with a sunny day.


Almost as inevitable as an annual spring are the resident Ospreys at the Balsam Forebay above Shaver Lake. I have gone up every spring for about 15 years. This year, the snow has melted enough at about 6,500’ to get to the forebay. It is early and I believe the Ospreys have not even begun preparing the nest for the eggs yet. The 2016 article was a month later and the Ospreys were working on the nest in early June.
