Drive along Miriam St. S to the second parking lot at Clam Bayou (down by roundabout). If in the second parking lot, the nest is on your left above the trees.
Female sitting on edge of nest and two large chicks were visible in the nest. Each chick was about the size of half a football and had mottled feathers.
Finally!! No osprey sighted. However, what was before an empty platform is starting to form into a nest! Small sticks and grass have started being placed!
this nest was quite busy. There was one osprey inside the nest (fledgling), another on a sign near-by, one on a street light near-by, and another periodically stopping in the nest to feed the fledgling. It looked to be a female doing the hunting/feeding. The others nearby were male. Also, a few yards away at another platform a couple was hanging out. The platform looked like it may have the beginnings of a nest.
Female was in the nest. She kept bending her head down and moving around. Couldn't tell if she was cleaning up the nest or maybe feeding little ones. No sign of the male while I was there

Today the osprey was back. Looked like it was doing some house keeping in the nest. Couldn't tell whether it was a male or female, could only see its backside as it worked! Glad the nest isn't abandoned though!
