Located in Whiting Creek. Platform. Female seems to have started sitting on nest on April 10, 2012. We moved here 4 years ago and did not have a nesting pair until 2010. That year we had 2 babies. For some reason in 2011, the female sat on the nest, but eventually just left. Not sure what happened.

wrote this in my journal on 4/30: "goose and chicks leave nest on 4/27 and on 4/30 a pair of osprey is using the nest!!! Might have to add this tidbit of info to osprey watch." on 5/11/12, i'm finally adding this nest, because the female appears to be incubating!
