Nest looks well maintained, 2 birds were observed, a male and a female; assumed pair. The female was sitting in the nest, and the male was beside her. At one point, the male left and retuned with nesting supplies, which he then seemed to then arrange in the nest.

01/12/2016 by kmnoonan
Nest in good condition, 1 bird was present in the nest, unable to determine gender. Another osprey was seen in the area circling the nest, and twice swooped down on the nest, after which the osprey in the nest met the other bird in the air (talons up) in what seemed to be an aggressive or defensive action. But, at one point, the nest was left unoccupied, but that is suspected because I was close to the nest, as one returned when I moved a good distance away.
