Osprey have been nesting at Moswetuset Park in Quincy just off of Quincy Shore Drive and Squantum Streets the past few years. They are often seen fishing the Neponset River. I suspect the Osprey I photographed at Scarboro Pond (Franklin Park) and Jamaica Pond the past few summers are from this same nesting site. Always a wonder to watch them hover before the dive for a fish... Stephen Baird Biography Profile Jamaica Plain Gazette 2017 (Click image for larger printable pdf version)
