8 AM - Osprey on nest. Like last year, nest is on second platform from top. (posted photo) Second Osprey seen fishing over lake about 1/4 mile away. 63°F and light rain
6:27 AM Three adults at nest? All three birds had yellow, not red eyes, and feathers were brown, and not white-tipped. Two in nest together and third delivering food. Unlike typical nests in cell towers that are at top platform, this nest is on second platform from top. 59°F, 92% humidity, 5:45 AM sunrise.
8:04am: Spotted Osprey in nest. It was my first Osprey of 2017, and (per ebird) Chesapeake's second of 2017. (George Harris spotted the first at Great Bridge Battlefield Park 2/19/2017.)
