Nesting Diaries

The nest was empty while I was there, but an osprey was hanging out with a gull and a cormorant on the utility pole on the other side of Sandwich Rd. Many other ospreys flying overhead, but not sure what nest they belong to.

07/29/2023 by A Bryant
The nest was empty when I arrived. A bit later, many ospreys were flying around (probably from both this nest and the nest further back in Bryant Farm Preserve.)

07/01/2023 by A Bryant
I watched a parent feeding what looked like two chicks.

04/02/2023 by A Bryant
Photo of osprey bringing a fish to his mate. :-)

07/31/2022 by A Bryant
I took a photo on July 4th that shows possibly two chicks. Yesterday I only saw one chick and one parent return to the nest, but the chick was definitely flying!

06/24/2022 by A Bryant
Spotted one chick in the nest.

06/18/2022 by A Bryant
One parent was partially in the nest (head first.) But no real proof of babies yet.

05/15/2022 by A Bryant
I observing one osprey sitting in the nest while I was visiting.

04/02/2022 by A Bryant
Both birds were working on the nest and making progress!

03/23/2022 by lost_bird
Saw one bird at the nest site today. But the nest was completely blown away over the winter so they'll have to start from scratch.

04/23/2021 by lost_bird
Any signs of incubation yet?

04/11/2021 by LAU
Great photo. I can't seem to get a good one but I did upgrade my binoculars.😄

04/09/2021 by lost_bird
FYI the nest location on the map was adjusted slightly to match its actual location on Google Maps.

04/08/2021 by Scully
Pair both on the nest pic # 4277(2) - 4:08 pm

04/04/2021 by LAU
I witnessed this pair getting frisky. Their nest seems stable. They are about 50 feet away from nest wings 3, and there was another bird hassling them. I think it was the male who chased him away.

04/02/2021 by LAU
The nest is really being built. It was a great big one last year. It got totally destroyed by the late summer hurricane. I am so thrilled to see the bird working so hard to create a new one.

03/27/2021 by Scully
Saw one there today 03/27 - no nest pic # 3126(2) 4:45 pm

08/07/2020 by LAU
The nest was destroyed in the tropical storm.😫the chicks were killed. The adults still at the pole. Makes me very sad.

05/23/2020 by LAU
This pair is still found great😊

04/29/2020 by LAU
This pair is doing well. A bird on the nest at all times😊

04/23/2020 by LAU
They are doing great, two of them today one one the nest and one on the pole.

04/18/2020 by LAU
This nest is big and strong, high sided. I've been going everyday for a week, no sign of the birds. Today I walked to the pole. She flew out at me hovering at my head. Now I know they are sitting on eggs🤗

04/16/2020 by LAU
My pair are out and about.

04/13/2020 by LAU
This pair have good access to the herring run. I see another nest about 1/4mile from this one with bird. It keeps comming around my nest. Trying to steal the girl away?😊

04/12/2020 by jzskins
Nest was empty but these two joined 4 other osprey at the Agawam Herring Run.

04/05/2020 by LAU
I saw bigger males at the Wareham Ma. Herring run.

04/05/2020 by LAU
I don't think there are eggs yet. The female was sitting on the pole. Happy for some suneshine😊

04/02/2020 by LAU
One bird on the edge of the nest today at 12:00pm. It doesn't look like sitting on eggs.🤗

03/30/2020 by LAU
On this day of heavy overnight rain, I checked the nest at about 4:00pm. It looked like just the female on the nest. I looked all along the river for osprey fishing but spotted none.

03/27/2020 by LAU
The pair seem very relaxed. The male is much bigger than the female.3-27-2020

Had a flyover :0)

03/23/2020 by LAU
I see three adults .They seem to be squabbling over the nest. It is a sturdy nest.

03/21/2020 by Scully
I saw a pair in the nest on 03/21

03/15/2020 by LAU
This nest is intact after the winter months. It looks quite sturdy. Eagerly awaiting the arrival of the osprey.

by A Bryant
SEPTEMBER 17, 2022: One chick was hanging out with the cormorants at Sandwich Road. I observed him fly back and land alongside his nest. He appeared to be the only osprey left from the two nests.

by A Bryant
AUGUST 28, 2022: It appeared that the parents had already left, and at least one chick were still there, flying around and landing on the nest. Other chicks were flying nearby, but I'm not sure if they were from the nest further back from the road.
