Female eating fish on corner of nest, then fed one nestling. Male that was perched on basketball court net flew to perch on nest. Nest in good condition.
Nest has remained same in size, pair was again spotted taking care of hatchlings. There appears to be a total of three pairs at the lake Vista location, who have all built multiple nests.
Again, no nesting material added. Due to the multiple pairs of ospreys and nests in the immediate areas, it is unclear whether this nest is currently active.
There are many nests and all the spotted ospreys appear to be female including the nest I was accounting for. This adult female is consistently perched 100m away from the nest- if it is her nest. I assume it is since this is the closest osprey to the nest
Today I spotted (2) juvenile ospreys sitting in the nest. One sitting up more towards the edge of the nest, one sitting low in the center. Male osprey was spotted perched on (usu) tree branch across skate park.
Today I observed a male osprey perched on a light pole across skate park. Female was sitting in nest stretching wings. Juvenile spotted in nest with female.
Today I observed an osprey flying in circles very high above nest. Female osprey flew out and away from nest. Two osprey total. Park was very busy with people.
First time visiting this nest. Saw a male perched up in nest. Male flew to a nearby tree where we continued to perch for several minutes. There was a group of skateboarders making a decent amount of noise (just below nest)
Today was the first time that I found the nest. There were about a dozen skateboarders around the nest. The nest is quite low to the ground. There was a male osprey occupying the nest. The osprey made eye contact with us and flew away into a nearby tree.
