The buoy bobs both up and down
It has a bell heard all around
Its duty is to guard the sea
But osprey see a floating tree
The bell clangs loud for all to hear
Its message sent both loud and clear
For the osprey, it is their home
It keeps them near, no need to roam
From a distance it seems quite small
When actually it’s broad and tall
Its size is right to hold a nest
Since ospreys use whatever’s best
We hope to see some chicks real soon
Whether at night or at high noon
We’ll watch them grow and learn to fly
Out of their nest, they’ll fly sky high
Yes, ospreys call the buoy home
The family grown, no need to roam
They’ll dive for fish to stay well fed
While the bell still rings just overhead
