I haven't seen any activity at this nest in three visits this week. It is a big nest, up high, but I should see some movement, but nothing. I think the nest may have failed, but won't call it for another week or two.

Could see female incubating

cold, rainy day. I observed the nest from the car for a good while and so no ospreys. I hope the female is incubating and the male was off sheltering somewhere.

the nest is large enough for incubatin and the female may well be. Male has been visible but not the female who wouldn't be if she were low in the nest

the pair continues to build the nest. it's starting to look like a nest. I hope the powers that be leave it alone

both birds working on the nest today; still have a long way to go

04/07/2019 by jmac
The pair is back just starting to rebuild the nest. we'll see if it is allowed to stay

03/31/2019 by jmac
This nest is no longer there. It appears it was removed by the power company. We'll see if the pair tries to rebuild

adult male and one chick at the nest today, chick should fledge soon.

Still only seeing one chick in this nest, but it is a big wide nest. The male brought a fish when I first got there, left and came back with a stick. Ate some of the fish with the chick

This nest was reported to Chris Takacs by a birder. Chris informed me. There were Osprey in the area last year, but I couldn't find the nest. There were a pair of birds at the nest and I believe there are chicks but I couldn't see any yet.
