I think the nestlings have hatched in the past couple of days. The parents have been remodeling the nest. It looks like they are making the sides higher. They've also been standing on the nest looking down into it.

If any following observers survey the nest. I'd love to hear how many eggs there are - debra.chako@gmail.com

Last year geese claimed the nest. I had the nest removed after the geese were gone so the osprey would have a "clean slate" this year. I was overjoyed when a pair started building a nest weeks ago. I'm thinking there might be eggs because the female's posture has changed and she seems more hunkered down.

This is a very dysfunctional year for this nest. Although occasionally there have been two, most of the time, there have been only one or no osprey in the nest. The nest was vacant for four weeks. For the past three days there are two.

A lone osprey showed up a week ago on March 15. It has been hanging out on the platform since. It looks very sad. Something must have happened to its mate.

One of the two chicks fell out of the nest Friday 7/11/14. It managed to swim ashore and was brought to Wildlife Rescue the next day. The plan is to release it here when it is ready to fly. This nest is in a no-wake zone across from the state park. It is a very popular spot for paddle boarders. They have become a real stress for the osprey parents. I think they don't realize how much they upset the birds. It's possible that the nuisance of the paddle boarders may have had something to do with the chick falling out.
