Description
Right before you enter Palmetto Bay Marina, there is an apartment complex on the left called Palmetto Bay Marina Village. It is before you get to Sunrise Cafe. Enter the property and you will pass two lagoons; one on the left and one on the right. After you pass the two lagoons, take a left and you will come to a dead-end, where there is a tennis court. I have never seen anyone use this court. Also, no apartments around to bother people. It is on the other side of the tennis court but you can best see from the parking area.

07/15/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
NOTE: Based on reports of no activity since late May, we are assuming that this nest failed for an unknown reason. By mid-July, there should have been evidence of nestlings/fledglings.

04/29/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch

02/07/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Marge I. reports no activity, but the nest looks in good shape.

07/27/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Marge I reports: Exciting day for me. I FINALLY saw junior! When I got there I saw a bird perched on top of the nest preening. It appeared smaller with mottled feathers. I waited and in a little while one of the parents flew in with a fish. It jumped down and started eating. I am assuming there is one juvenile

07/11/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Marge I reports: Checked today. Saw the mother sitting. Did not see father or the chick. I am guessing there is just one but still cannot tell from where I can look.

06/19/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Mary Alice T shared a photo of Mom with wings out to shade the nestling.

06/17/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Marge I reports: Exciting day. Definitely saw one baby with Mama and Dad flew in dropped a fish and flew out again. NOTE: We will update the data as we can determine if there is another.

06/11/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Marge I reports: Checked my nest today. Still did not see the babies. She was kind of busy just preening etc. Did not see the male either.

06/03/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Marge I reports: She was sitting quietly and low in the nest. I could not tell but since it was 11:30 she might have been trying to keep the hatchlings cool. Did not see the male today.

05/26/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Marge I reports: Today she was very active and her head kept going up and down. NOTE: This probably means the eggs hatched between the 23 and 26.

05/23/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Marge I reports: Mom was hunkered down in the nest.

05/07/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Marge reports: Mother on Nest hunkered down Three others all looked like adults flying around. Did not see the male bring a fish There is a great viewing area right by the sign that says 800 -1100 No trees in the way.

04/29/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Marge and Dave I. report: My husband Dave was able to see one of the birds bring a fish to the other one. Of course it flew off when he got his camera.

04/14/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Mary Alice T and Marge I. report: Male flying had just dropped off a fish. You can barely see female, but she's there! NOTE: Since we just found this nest, but Mom appears to be in the nest with eggs, we have recorded incubation on the 11th although we really do not know when it started.

04/08/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
observer Mary Alice T: found this osprey nest and we determined it was not being monitored. Because of this, we have missed some of the dates activity occurred, but now are able to monitor the nest beginning in early April
