Male or female present, appears to be a female because of its flat-back behavior. It appears to be incubating, and it is preening its back. A male osprey was seen landing, dropping off some fish, and flying away.

Nest present but no occupants visible or nearby.

01/21/2014 by Katherine
I saw two birds in the nest today as well! I am glad to see that both residents still appear to be happy and healthy and right at home! Maybe it is safe to assume that they are incubating because they were both sitting today as well. However, I did read that the parents rotate who sits on the nest during the incubation period so I am not confident that I can make that call. Either way, both clearly visible birds are still doing well!

01/14/2014 by Katherine
Today I was excited to see two Ospreys in my nest! They were just sitting there, I did not assume that there was any incubation going on.

08/01/2013 by Beth
Adults arrived February 2013. Incubation began during March 2013.
