No activity seen at this nest.

1 adult perched near the nest
I saw an adult in a nearby tree the day before too, hopefully it indicates they will re-nest!

Female was definitely on the nest!
Both adults were in nearby trees for the bulk of my observation time. At the end, the female was standing on the nest but not incubating.
No incubation as of 4/13, both adults were on the nest for around 30 minutes.
Visit by kayak; female dropping sticks on nest; male nearby.
I saw both adults on 3/31/13, but the nest is so complete that I think it's been there and under construction for a while, so I guestimate the adult arrival to be at least a week and a half prior. A conservative estimate of AA would be March 20, 2013.
I saw one adult on this nest for 30 minutes the other day. It is definitely a nest, as many sticks have been brought to the site. I am waiting for the day I see both individuals on the nest to determine adult arrival.
