The female was in the nest with at least two chicks. Not much activity.

04/26/2017 by MaryK
Both of the adults were in the nest with at least one chick. There wasn't much activity, potentially due to time and temperature of the day.

04/19/2017 by MaryK
One osprey was incubating, might have also been working on something inside the nest. I saw some green parrots using the underside of the nest.

04/13/2017 by MaryK
One was lying low in the nest. It was moving a bit towards the end but mostly just incubating. There was a male where the missing nest used to be, couldn't tell which nest it belonged to. A green parrot was on the underside of the nest before departing.

04/06/2017 by MaryK
The male and female were both in the nest, preoccupied with something in it. Potential for chicks in the nest but couldn't see. There were also 5 other ospreys in the area flying around this nest and #1218. I think there is at least one other nest on Coquina Key.

03/22/2017 by MaryK
The female was fixing something in the nest for a few minutes. The male flew off and after that the female went back to incubating. There was a green parrot building part of the nest underneath before going inside the bottom of the nest.

03/15/2017 by MaryK
Female osprey was sitting very close to me eating a fish. I assumed it belonged to this nest since it was closer to this than #1218. One osprey was lying low in the nest.

03/09/2017 by MaryK
1 was in nest, lying too low to determine gender. Other ospreys were heard in the area, but no visual sign of mate.

03/02/2017 by MaryK
One osprey was sitting in the nest, lying low. I'm assuming it was female, but mate was not seen. Green parrots were present underneath the nest.

02/20/2017 by MaryK
There was a female near the nest, but did not approach it. A lot of other bird activity in the area.

02/15/2017 by MaryK
Both ospreys were in nest, remained in it for duration of watch.

02/08/2017 by MaryK
Nest is present but no ospreys were seen in it. There was a female where nest 5502 should be, but did not seem interested in moving to nest. No wrens spotted.

12/13/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Less wrens than last observation, but still at least half a dozen were seen directly around the nest. Ospreys still do not seem interested in nest.

12/13/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Less wrens than last observation, but still at least half a dozen were seen directly around the nest. Ospreys still do not seem interested in nest.

12/06/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Same as past observation, wrens like to be approached less than even the ospreys. Neither species pays much mind to being observed unless I get too close.

11/29/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Nest continues to be occupied by numerous wren, who appear quite content with their modified home. Ospreys seem to have no interest in nest or wrens.

11/15/2016 by RachelLEckerd
More wren were sighted than late date of observation. Nest appears to be in good condition, and the wren seem to have kept up somewhat with upkeep.

11/01/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Only two wrens were seen by the nest during observation time. Pair of ospreys in area appear to have settled in closeby in a nest across the field.

10/18/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Nest is still active by multiple pairs of wrens, a pair of osprey were seen nearby but did not approach this nest during the observation time.

09/25/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Pair of osprey seen in the immediate area, however believed to inhabit 1218. Very large nest with blue bag stuck into it. Nest appears to be inhabited by wrens, at least 6. They can be heard chirping and stay close to the nest.

There were three osprey spotted in the park today, and they are using the other two nests in the park.

01/18/2016 by HugoR
Again the nest is not in use, the nest appears the same and some sticks sit on top of the light pole but no real structure exists.

01/12/2016 by HugoR
Only the nest on the flat platform designed for osprey might be in use, the other nests in the park are not in use.

Today I found the nest for the first time. It is very close to another osprey nest. This nest is currently occupied. I saw a male osprey in this nest perched above on a metal pole that stuck out from atop the nest. It was making loud noises while looking around the area. There were more high pitched noises coming from inside of the nest. I did not see any movement coming from inside of the nest.

02/08/2014 by LC
Found the nest for the first time today. Very easy to spot. There was a male perched up over nest. Heard squawking noises coming from male. Could possibly be from inside the nest (hatchlings) did not see any young.

01/21/2014 by Caroline
For my first nest observed at Coquina Key Park, there were no osprey's in the nest, but one couple that perched across it on a light pole with no nest. There were two total nests at that location. The first week the smaller nest was occupied by the osprey pair, and my nest, the sturdier one was not occupied. The second week the osprey's moved to my observed nest and was seen bringing branches and items to build the nest to be a little bigger. The other nest was not occupied by the osprey pair, but was being used by mock parakeets. This week, they seemed to abandon that nest and go to mine and now there is a nest for monk parakeets in my osprey nest. The monk parakeets seem to be fighting and warning of the European starling.

Adults arrived November 2012. Incubation began during December 2012. Pair last seen at nest February 2013.
