Brooks has returned to her nest!

4 August 2022

This will be so short…Brooks, the only surviving osprey fledgling of Richmond and Rosie at the Whirley Crane nest on San Francisco Bay has returned to her nest after being usurped by the intruder.

Here are some pictures.

Here is the link to the camera:

I am a writer and occasional maker working with clay. I received my PhD from the University of Leicester in art history as a Commonwealth Scholar from Canada to the UK. Since then I have taught art history and ceramics until August 2020 when I returned to full-time writing. The giant umbrella under which I work is contemporary ceramics with an emphasis on wood firing, women who wood fire, the contributions of Vietnam Resisters on Canadian ceramics, and ceramics and sustainability.

    Thanks Mary Ann. I’m so glad to see Brooks home. Don’t know where Star is but I saw her on a post earlier too.
    Maybe she has gone back to her nest too.

      Isn’t he handsome. So happy Brooks returned so we could see he is OK.

      It was so wonderful…and we now know that Brooks is a ‘he’. Very reassuring that he is fine.

        My theory is that Brooks returned so that he could be here for the gender reveal. He knew what the rest of us didn’t.
