The male was eating on the nearby light post, the female was in the nest. Another was circling in the area, might belong to a nearby nest. Jerry, a local resident, says that the ospreys tear down the nest and rebuild it each year.
Male was in nest and the female flew off shortly after I arrived. She returned a while later and both were occupied with something inside the nest. Right before I left, the male flew off.
Female was in nest, male was eating fish on a telephone pole. 2 other ospreys were flying in the area and after a while the male left the pole but left the fish unattended.
The female was lying low in the nest and the male frequently left the nest. May have had something to do with the construction happening on the roadside?
Nest has been rebuilt, osprey of unknown gender in the nest. No sign of young, could hear another osprey in the area. There was also another nest (potentially osprey) on a telephone pole to the right.
Osprey was again sighted, due to size and visuals it is most likely a female, as she appears quite large and some spotting can be made out. It is unclear whether she has claimed this nest for good due to unclear observation periods.
Osprey from last week was not sighted during latest observation time, although there appeared to be some fish remains nearby due to a noticeable smell near the nest. Nest remains in decent shape and size.
One osprey (gender unknown) was seen perched on the rim of the nest, the first sign of activity since 05/16. Unclear as to whether osprey is beginning nesting, as no mate was seen or heard. The pine the nest is located is by far the tallest structure in the area, and the area itself is gated off, so it may not been a bad place for the osprey to settle.
Nest is present. Nest is very large and very well maintained. No ospreys were present in the nest, but did spot an osprey flying around near nest location. Unable to determine sex.
