One adult male is sat on the perch nest to the nesting platform. Possible adult head peeking out of nest, could be female laying down but difficult to tell from the angle. Lots of calling heard from area.
Two adults observed, presumably male and female. One perched on a nearby perch and the other perched on the nesting platform. After a few minutes the individual on the perch flew to the nest.
One individual (sex unknown) is sitting in the nest. This nest is too far out into the marsh to be certain whether or not this individual is a juvenile or an adult. It remains motionless and silent for the duration of the observation.
Two juveniles and two adults are observed. One adult is sitting in a dead tree just off the main trail, and one is on the V pole observing the juveniles in the nest.

Female is present with one chick in the nest. One individual soars nearby, and there is no alarm coming from the female. This is suspected to be her mate. Second observation notes that the female and chick have not moved, however there is a male individual a little ways away sitting on the marsh grass. He does not eat or move for the duration of the observation
Apparent feeding behavior observed from a male in the nest. No female is present. Upon second observation, female is observed to be soaring in the vicinity of the nest.
One individual of unknown sex feeding one visible chick. There are two individuals opposite of this nest in trees that appear make the nesting pair wary, as they sit up at attention when the pair starts calling.
Confirmed female sits in the nest. After about two minutes male returns with a fish. Female remains seated and eats with onlooking male glancing out into the marsh for short intervals. Both sit facing into the wind after a while. Male leaves. Female adjusts positions and could be feeding chicks.
Male and female present in the nest. Catch was brought in, species of fish unidentified. Heavy wing beats upon entry were observed. Male leaves immediate vicinity within the next 15 minutes.
I saw an adult and one chick today! We hope the other one is doing well. This nest can best be viewed from our main trail or on the scenic orange trail :)
