Vince Lombardi Nest. This nest is right off Interstate 95 at the entrance of the Vince Lombardi rest stop coming from the north side of the highway leading south.
The young continue in the nest with the male nearby. I think it is safe to assume that they can fly, just not ready to take off yet. The female seems to have left for the south.
There is probably an incubating hen on this high, deep nest that I can't see. The male is always present near by on the tower for at least the last ten days.
An Osprey present and a new nest started. It's quite large already. Last year workers removed the nest, possibly with eggs in it, late in August. I will have to watch more closely this year
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.
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
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.
