One perched on far side of nest looking into nest, likely female. Can't see nestlings, but it seems like there might be some. Nest is in good condition.
One osprey sitting in nest (probably female), one male flew over. Two other males flew over too, but didn't pay much attention to the nest. Nest in good condition.
Male on nearby light pole, female perched in nest calling to male. Female has very dark brown feathers. Male flew to her and landed on her back, mating. He flew away but came back in five or so minutes to mate again. Nest in good condition.
Nest seems to be added to with Spanish Moss, one of the largest nests I am currently observing. The male was seen perched in the nest, just looking around. The female was not seen.
Nest remains massive, as well as very close to the road. Female was again seen at the nest, preening herself. Male was seen flying overhead but did not land nearby.
very large nest made up of mainly sticks and spanish moss, pair of ospreys sighted taking turns leaving the nest. Neither flew very far from the nest, and the male was seen bending his head into the nest, possible indication of hatchlings
One female remained in nest, while a male flew around the nest carrying food. Possibly breeding behavior? Nest has definitely expanded since last log and is active.
After another fifteen minutes of observation, the status of the nest remains empty. No Osprey were present in the nest or even in the area. This nest is right up against 54th ave. which is a major roadway, this could be the reason why the Osprey choose elsewhere to nest. Despite their resilience to people, bird vs car does not usually end well for the bird, no matter how big they are.
Large nest, made from hearty materials such as large sticks. No manmade objects present in nest. Despite good condition of nest, no birds were seen for the ten minutes spent watching. No presence of Monk Parakeets either.
Today I observed a male osprey sitting in the nest. A female osprey then flew into the nest carrying a fish. Female began feeding juveniles. Male flew out and perched himself on a pole across from pond.
Today I oberved a male osprey sitting low in the nest. A few minutes later a female osprey flew into nest. Male osprey left nest and perched on light pole bout 10ft from nest.
osprey perched on branch below nest. flew away and female returned (not sure if it was the same osprey, couldn't determine sex at first) female perched on branch looking into the lake.
Today I watched a female Osprey perched on branch next to nest. Female flew away for a few minutes then land back on the same branch. Osprey seemed to be looking around. No sign of male.
Today we watched a male osprey fly into nest. Male perched in nest for a few minutes before moving up on higher stick. Continued to perch up over nest.
at first, no sign of osprey in or near nest. male osprey came out of nowhere and flew into the nest. he is perched on the side of the nest above a lake.
Today I found the nest for the first time this season. There was a female osprey perched on a branch that stuck out atop from the nest. The female was cleaning itself while also looking around. There was no sign of hatchlings.
Found the nest for the first time today. Spotted a female osprey perched up on a branch of its nest. Female was cleaning herself. There was no sign of hatchlings.
Today I did not see any ospreys in the nest or on the other side of the parking lot as I usually do. I honestly have no idea whether the birds I have observed in the vicinity belong to the nest or not. I am very confused about this nest.
Today the nest looked to be deserted again however, we saw a pair in a tree across the parking lot. I don't know if that means that the pair was just taking a trip across the parking lot or if they were different ospreys.
