Iris, a 25-year old - or so osprey, laid her first egg of the season today; at Missoula, Montana. (y)

 
Awww... best of luck to the egg!

Hopefully, that bird (or, if it's male, his mate) will be laying another egg in 25 years' time :) .

They (Osprey) usually average 3 eggs per nesting season ; April, May - October in these parts. They're large raptors, but not quite a big as Eagles, & have a totally fish diet. (y)
I have a brother in law that lives in Missoula, Montana.
Woo-Hoo! Home of Iris!
Iris' nest is in a corner of the parking lot at the University of Montana! (y) There are a couple of webcams that have been live-streaming 'events' at the nest during the season:
