Lisa P reports: Feb. 15: bird tail visible from the edge of nest. Not moving after 15 minutes of observation, so possibly she has an egg or two she’s sitting on???
NOTE: Based on this observation, we will make a tentative guess that at least one egg has been laid sometime between 2-8 and 2-15. We will post it as the 12th, but this is our best guess.
Lisa P reports: one bird in nest while the other eats lunch on a tower arm below the nest. eventually the bird in the nest joined the one on the tower arm below.
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.
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.
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.
Lisa P reports: Happy to report that the osprey family from nest # 2521 has flown the coop! Parents will need a little repair work when they come back next spring as the nest is a bit of a shamble now.
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.
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!!!
observer reports: adult hanging out on the edge of the nest, hops back into nest. Adult flies off and SURPRISE!!, returns with a small branch that is dropped into the nest. Adult hovers after dropping the branch, then flies off. The other adult is in the nest arranging the dropped branch. Adult returns to nest “empty handed” but proceeds to perch on the edge of the nest and preen him (her) self. Both adults in the nest. Lots of tail wagging and wing flapping.
