One osprey was in the nest, couldn't determine gender or age. No other ospreys were seen from that nest.

04/26/2017 by MaryK
There was one adult osprey in the nest and at least one chick. Another adult osprey was on a nearby lightpole but I'm not sure if it was the mate.

04/19/2017 by MaryK
One was eating close by, but couldn't tell if it belonged to this nest. One osprey had been incubating, but flew off for a while before returning with some material to work on the nest. Green parrots were perched below the nest.

04/13/2017 by MaryK
One osprey was sitting upright towards the side of the nest. No sign of mate or chicks.

04/06/2017 by MaryK
No ospreys were in the nest during my watch. 5 other ospreys were in the area, so some of them could have belonged to this nest.

03/22/2017 by MaryK
No ospreys were present.

03/15/2017 by MaryK
One osprey was lying low, no activity from it and no sign of mate. Since it was so cold today I'm assuming the low-activity rates in all my ospreys was to conserve heat.

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

03/02/2017 by MaryK
One osprey was lying low in the nest, gender couldn't be determined. Green parrots were present underneath the nest.

02/20/2017 by MaryK
One female returned to the nest a few minutes into the watch, stayed in nest for remainder of watch.

02/15/2017 by MaryK
Nest looks healthy but did not see adult ospreys, eggs, or young osprey in nest.

02/08/2017 by MaryK
Female perched in nest, didn't see a male in the area during this time.

01/25/2017 by arswan
Female was in the nest and it looked like there was a large egg next to her- chick may be seen soon.

01/20/2017 by arswan
Pair was seen in the nest

01/19/2017 by arswan
Female was in the nest. It is possible that there are also eggs in this nest

01/13/2017 by arswan
Male on pole next to pole with nest in it, Female is flying around in the area

01/11/2017 by arswan
Parakeet was seen next to the lower nest on the light. There was also an Osprey spotted on the pole next to the one with the nest- a nest used to be here but is not anymore.

01/06/2017 by CharlotteS
Two nests: one directly on the field lights and one above on the platform. Female Osprey was seen in platform nest. Platform nest was small but in good condition. Female was crouching in nest, and didn't move while we were there. Perhaps she was incubating?

12/13/2016 by RachelLEckerd
There may be a possible egg laying state happening. While impossible to tell, the female still will clearly not leave the nest, and the male was observed perching himself on the rim of the nest, unwilling or uninteresting in traveling far from the nest.

12/06/2016 by RachelLEckerd
No real change in nest size, however male was not spotted during observation time. Female was seen perched again inside the nest.

11/29/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Nest may be subject to nesting activity, as female was seen inside the nest while the male was perched very close by. Neither seemed willing to leave very far from the area.

11/15/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Male was sighted on a nearby pole, eating fish while dropping pieces below. Female was not sighted during this visit. Nest has not changed in size.

11/01/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Nest is currently occupied, female was seen perched by the edge of the nest while the male perched on the platform directly above. Neither of the pair left the nest during the observation period.

10/18/2016 by RachelLEckerd
Osprey pair was sighted again near the nest, the male perched on the platform directly above the nest while the female was heard screeching around the area but did not come to land near by the nest. Nest has not grown in size, however it remains very large.

09/25/2016 by RachelLEckerd
One pair of adult ospreys present in the immediate area, seen perched at another nearby light post. Platform has little nesting material, but the nest below it is very large. One wren was seen flying into the nest. Female did not move, but male flew off shortly after arrival.

06/28/2016 by KC

03/16/2016 by KelieReimer
Osprey nest on the top platform is small and actively maintained. The second nest below the platform on the light pole is very large and looks well maintained. However, 1 adult osprey was present in the nest on the platform. Unable to determine sex of the osprey.

02/25/2016 by KelieReimer
Osprey nest on the top platform is small and actively maintained. Female osprey present in nest, then male osprey flew up. Female was sitting low, male came in looking down- possible incubation? *Also, a new nest is now below the original on the light pole, medium size, maintained, no ospreys present in that nest.

02/10/2016 by KelieReimer
1 adult Osprey present in nest, another Osprey on light pole across field. Can not determine either sex.

No osprey spotted- but it is getting harder to say because of the number of nests in the area and the number of ospreys posting up on near posts (however there has never been an osprey observed beside this nest and it appears that the nest is not holding up)

Today I found the nest for the first time. There was no sign of an osprey in the nest, but there was an osprey in the nest about 20 meters away.

01/14/2014 by Hudson
Originally, I had thought that this nest was occupied by an osprey. Yesterday, when I looked at it again, I found that the osprey moved over to the nest that was right next to it. The other nest was much more fortified and looked like it was in better condition. I took a closer look at my nest and saw 3 to 4 parakeets were hanging out at the nest. I don't know if this osprey likes to split its time between two "homes" or if it decided to come over to the other nest and desert the other nest.

01/10/2014 by Hudson
All of the other nests that I have been visiting during the day were deserted, so I was really hoping to get at least one bird in one nest. Sure enough there was one osprey in the nest. Couldn't tell if it was a female or male. I also say another osprey in the area so that might have been the mate. I didnt see the osprey incubating or feeding any nestlings/fledglings. The osprey was perched on the nest where you could see its head and its chest. As I said earlier I couldn't tell the gender of the osprey.

08/01/2013 by Beth
Adults arrived January 2013. Incubation began during February 2013. Pair last seen at nest May 2013.
