Eggs hatched June 7th 2018, parents feeding chcks

This appears to be the same couple as last year. They build a smaller nest than previous occupants. There is an interloper they have successfully run off. Much mating activity occurring.

04/15/2015 by Crow Point
Third male osprey trying to claim the nest. So far he has been successfully run off.

04/15/2015 by Crow Point
No mating activity, still bringing sticks and grass to the nest. They bring their fish to another pole about 20 ft. away to eat.

We observed a third, very agressive Osprey attempting to drive parents away or off the next. Within a few days we observed crows on the nest and they appeared to be eating something, eggs or chicks, not sure. The parents stayed arounf the next for about 1 month. No incubating of nesting behavior observed, they were absent or just sitting on the edge of the nest for atleast 1 month. We even observed more breeding behavior. After Sept 9, the birds were no longer there.
