All OspreyWatch Nests

Nest has been in top of dead tree many years. Osprey have just returned to it. First sighting was Saturday, March 9.

Straight Rd and Silverthorn Rd.

Installed in early 2019 to provide a nest site for a pair of ospreys whose nest was destroyed the year earlier.

Michael Bacon of Tri-Leaf reported this nest on 9/4/19, and observed it occupied / active earlier in the 2019 season.

Cell tower at 19 Compromise Rd, Salem

End of Chatham Ln., Fairview community. Can be seen from White House Rd. The nest had two babies but blew down. Two Osprey remained but unsure if it was the babies or not.

(site prepared but not yet used) King County completed this CSO facility in 2018, and included this nest platform as well as a number of hanging gourds, potentially for PUMA. No observed occupants for either to date.

Wooden platform sits atop a light pole numbered "72" (6 lights) amid much cruise ship and other Port of Seattle activity. Site is physically closer to being on Pier 90.

Established nest built in a parking area ... in the industrial area north of the West Seattle Bridge (near SW Klickitat Way and Duwamish Ave South)

Well-established nest with a long history of success. It is located in the parking area for a commercial concern on the bank of the Duwamish River (Waterway).

This platform in Commodore Park was a lovely replacement placed in 2012 for the nest that was removed from atop the railroad trestle. Sadly, at this location, after years of successful nesting, someone was observed to fly a drone over the nest (2016). The adults immediately abandoned the site. The Commodore Park nest at Chittendon Locks has remained abandoned / empty. They are said to have "moved up the ship canal to Ballard Oil."

Old hurricane mooring converted to nest platform

Originally on top of the second truss of the above railroad bridge that crosses the Elizabeth River. Now on top of an active construction crane in the Norfolk Naval shipyard.

Large flat nest of sticks, close to a stream, which could be an osprey nest. Discovered that this is a bald eagle nest, not an osprey nest!!

Along the Hackensack River, was the site of a nest a few years ago that fell down. Only accessible by boat. This nest was only started by the pair during the summer of 2019. By late August it is quite developed and may be active next spring should it survive the winter
