Lassen was last seen on August 7. Shasta was last seen on August 28. Rosie was last seen on September 17. Richie was seen around the area a few times but hasn't been sighted lately. He has not been seen at Meeker Slough as in past years. Perhaps he is hanging around San Pablo Reservoir catching trout?
Please let us know on chat if you see Richie anywhere or any banded ospreys.
Watch for Rosie in late February or early March.

For season summaries, see the FAQ sheets on the GGAS osprey cam site.

Farewell, Osprey Family. Safe travels. We hope to see Rosie in the early Spring and Lassen and Shasta in two years. May Tam rest in peace above his mountain namesake.
