Nest #2521

Lisa P reports: adult and 2 youngsters were sharing breakfast together on the edge of the nest. Another adult was on the radar arm below, perhaps keeping watch. Lots of calling and other osprey circling.

05/30/2019 by CarolC

NOTE: Based on the most recent observations, we have moved the incubation date to sometime in March with hatching in April. Even these guesses may not be accurate since we may have young already flying, though still around the nest. We think there are 2 or 3 fledglings. This is are our best guess.

05/29/2019 by CarolC

Lisa P reports: LOTS of activity. 2 and then 3 adults were circling the nest, lots of calling. 2 additional birds side by side on the radar arms, 1 was definitely a juvenile, but just not sure about the other 1. Another bird landed on a different radar arm just below the other 2. Not sure if that was an adult or juvenile. Very busy this afternoon!

Lisa P reports: Definitely 2 birds in the nest, both facing the same direction as I watched their tails wiggling for quite awhile. Lots of moving around in the nest / definitely not just sitting there. One adult flew off and returned around 10 minutes later. (no gifts) Settled in the nest for a few minutes then left to perch on the radar bracket below the nest.

observer reports: June 12: 1 juvenile and 2 adults in nest

06/07/2018 by CarolC

observer reports: We have babies in 2521!!!! Definitely saw 2 young ones today, although I must say, they looked pretty big. One was perched on the side of the nest and the other was flapping around inside. One parent on the side of the nest, the other perched just below. Lots of calling back and forth. How exciting!!!

06/07/2018 by CarolC

Based on the observers report on 6/7/18 that the two young ones looked pretty big, we will guess they hatched about 2 - 3 weeks ago. Guess is about May 20, but that is purely a guess.
