This nest is located in what probably is a dead tree or some type of structure that is covered in vines and weeds. From 278, turn as if entering Indigo Run. At the Indigo Run circle, proceed 3/4 of the way and turn right onto Leg-O-Mutten Road. Part way down on the left, there is a small pull off. Park there and look to the right in that small field. the nest is nearly impossible to spot unless you see the osprey flying in or out of it. It is nearly opposite where years ago there was a nest in a dead tree.
It is located off Plantation Drive in Sea Pines next to the 12th tee of the Heron Point Golf Course. The nest is on the left side of the tee box even with the start of the water pond and the start of the golf waste bunker.
The nest is located on the lagoon in Sea Pines behind the house at 13 Twin Pines. It is in a live pine tree

Go past the green and continue to the next tee area and look to the right into the pine trees. There is a pine tree with the top out of it and that is the tree where the new nest is located. NOTE: We believe this is a new nest built by the pair that formerly had nest 7425 in a tree that is gone.
New nest location! as of March 32.1582, -80.7435 in St Johns Place, Shipyard - its on private property so close observation will be hard
2/28/2020 When I first spotted the pair 2 weeks ago I assumed they would begin a rebuild of their badly damaged nest - this has not occurred - I see at least one of the pair still in the neighborhood but I cannot find their new nest if there is one - pretty sad about this - I'm not sure where they are - last time their nest was destroyed they rebuilt across the street - I'll keep searching FOUND THEM!! 3/19 the pair has built a new nest - in St Johns Place approx 1500' from the old nest that was blow down last fall
This nest is easily visible across from 85 Folly Field Road. It is just behind what looks to be an old ball court of some type with a wall.
Note: The observers have named this pair Ozzie and Harriet.

The nest is located on Oyster Reef Golf Course in Hilton Head Plantation on hole #17. It is in a dead tree on the right hand side 3/4 way down the fairway across the lagoon. It’s close to the lagoon by 5 Crepe Myrtle. Once you see it, you realize it’s fairly open to see with or without binoculars.
It's located in the tallest pine tree, next to N Sea Pines Drive, and overlooking the lagoon by the 18th green of the Atlantic Dunes golf course. If you're standing at the back of the 18th green, and next to the lagoon, turn to your left a little and look up. This nest is within a mile of nest 7428 and about the same distance off the beach.
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.

Osprey nest is on CSA maintenance pole off Lawton Canal Road, right after turn into back entrance to Sea Pines Forest Preserve.
The best way to see the nest (on the skinny pole, not the water tower) is to go in the back gate, entering Forest Preserve on Lawton and park at first right hand turn under the tree before you get to the little gazebo with maps. Walk on the path to the gate and peer through. Walk a bit further and peer between trees. Very hard to see this nest as it is high up.
Sea Pines Rookery on Lake Mary (where there are no birds). You kind of walk back and then there is a blind with step and a nice look out over the water. If you look left as you face the lake, the fishing pier is just across the water on your left. The Osprey nest is on the left far away about mid-tree line.
