More Info: Captiva Island is located near Fort Myers off Florida's Gulf Coast and is immediately north of Sanibel Island.

The male osprey is called Jack. The nesting platform has been in use for many years, before the webcam was installed.

In Florida, ospreys return to the area in two waves. The first to arrive to their familiar nests are the non-migratory resident ospreys of the southern Florida coasts. They are followed one to two months later by the migrating population from its summer habitat on the rivers and lakes of South America.
