Nest completely gone..? Platform is still there, but there are no sticks, branches or anything remaining. Completely different from last observation date. However, an osprey was sighted on the light pole to the left of this nest...
Though ospreys were sighted across the field, the nest looked like it had been added too. (This might be due to storm shifting around branches however)
Today there was two ospreys in the field, both male and female. Male was about 20m from nest while the female was on a different light pole about 30m from nest.
No sign of an osprey in or around the nest, but there are smaller birds perched along the rim of this nest. There is a male osprey perched on a light structure about 20 meters from nest, in the same field.
There are both adult osprey present during the observation period. They are tending to the nestling in the center. When the nestling perched on the edge it appeared quite large, perhaps it hatched a while before it was observed..
Both the adult male and female osprey were present, tending to the center of the nest upon arrival. After ten minutes it was evident there was a chick in the center of the nest. Soon after the male osprey moved to the lights underneath the nest.
Both male and female osprey were present. The female was sitting in the center of the nest. The male was perched along the side, tending to the center.
Wow!!! After weeks of appearing abandoned this nest has been occupied! At first a very large osprey was observed perched in the front-center of the nest, grooming itself. After about 5-10 minutes the large osprey took flight and the head of an adult female was visible in the center of the nest. There appeared to be movement in the nest but perhaps it was the female shuffling around.
