Nest does not appear larger or smaller than last observation, and male was again seen perched nearby. No female in sight, and male spent whole observation period sitting still and occasionally preening himself.
Nest has grown somewhat, but is still quite small. Male was sighted flying around the area before disappearing from sight. Did not reappear during observation time.
Single osprey was sighted in the immediate area, male and not very large. Was seen perched in the same place as from prior observation. The small nest does not appear to have grown. The male may still have another nest nearby.
Single osprey was again seen hovering around the area, some nesting attempt has been made with a small buildup on twigs, however it is still possible there may be another nest somewhere in the area.
No nest visibly present, one osprey, male, was sighted presumably where nest may have been. No viable nesting material could be seen, however osprey seemed possessive of the perch. Osprey did not leave the perch for the duration of the observation period.
Nest medium sized and maintained. Still bits of plastic and trash in nest but not as much as previous weeks. No ospreys present in nest or surrounding areas.
Nest medium sized and maintained. Not as much trash in nest as previous weeks. Both adult ospreys present in nest. Both male and female. Another male swooped in and tried to land in nest but male in nest chased him up and they both flew off.
Nest present. Medium sized but not very well maintained. No osprey present in nest or surrounding areas. Remnants of plastic and trash caught in nest. Possibly abandoned.
There was a male osprey perched on top of the light pole across the field. Though I couldn't see very well whether the nest was occupied I'm pretty sure I could hear a response coming from the nest each time the male osprey spoke.
This week the nest in coquina park was quite eventful. The osprey pair switches to my nest! I saw one osprey, probaby the male bringing branches and spanish moss back to the nest where the other osprey was perched waiting. I do not know which osprey started building the nest but there wings helped them put the nest together.
The elementary light pole one on the soccer field had the osprey sitting in it, potentially incubating. There was just one osprey located in the nest, but I do not remember if I saw another osprey nearby on another pole. This nest has not changed much.
The elementary school one had a pair in it and looked like one of the ospreys was incubating, still not sure though because it was so high up it was hard to get an accurate reading,
The one in Coquina Keys Park was not occupied but the one next to it was. The nest was significantly bigger than the other one but for some reason that nest was not occupied.
