The Owl chicks have fledged.

02/28/2020 by Peglucas

For the second year in a row, a pair of Great Horned Owls is using this nest. The owlets are branching now, so they should be gone before the Ospreys return. The Osprey pair that use this nest is usually the latest to return of the three monitored here.

Have not seen any chicks but the adults are still around nest. It's very hard to see into the nest

05/27/2019 by Peglucas

Adult is on nest and appears to be incubating eggs.

04/07/2019 by Peglucas

The owls left the tree somewhere around the first of April. The last know sighting of the owl chick was March 29th at which time it was reported out of the nest and sitting in the tree with adult. The Ospreys returned to the nest shortly after this. First reported sighting of both parents on nest was April 7th.

This nest has been taken over by a Great Horned Owl.

No birds have been observed around the nest for the last week.

08/30/2018 by Peglucas

At least one bird is still hanging around the nest.

08/08/2018 by Peglucas

Yesterday two birds were on a limb outside the nest and one was on the nest.

06/13/2018 by Peglucas

Today I was able to observe what appears to be the mother feeding hatchlings. Nest is not visible enough to confirm number.

05/16/2018 by Peglucas

I have gone by the nest severa time in the last few days and could not see any activity on or around the nest. It is a very large nest and it could be the female is down in the nest.

05/04/2018 by Peglucas

The pair has been at the nest together but one has not been observed sitting on the nest consistantly

03/29/2018 by Peglucas

Both birds have been seen interacting in the tree close to the nest but have not been observed in the nest or trying to rebuild the nest

03/25/2018 by Peglucas

This nest was first observed last year. It was an active nest late in the season but was partially destroyed by hurricane Irma. The female was seen in the tree by the old nest for about a week before the male was seen for the first time 03/23/18. They have been seen together in the tree but not on the nest itself.
