The female was sitting in the nest. She wasn't incubating but I couldn't see if any chicks were present in the nest. No sign of mate.
One was incubating in the nest, no sign of mate during watch.
The female was perched in the next. She was very vocal and threatened by me. The male was perched on s nearby tree eating a fish. A blackbird and two other birds were very aggressive to him, but he didn't seem to be bothered. Eventually he flew off with the fish.
Male is on branch on tree, female left the nest before returning to incubate. Much more peaceful than last week.
Male and female were both in the nest and acted aggressively with some neighboring ospreys. There were a lot of birds from other species also fighting with each other. The two ospreys stayed in their nest for the whole watch, acting alert.
Female and male were both in nest. After a while the male flew off and the female went back to incubating. The woodpecker that lives below them was on the tree as well.
The female was lying low in the nest and her mate was on a nearby tree. Little activity from either.
One green parrot was on the tree. The female was outside the tree and very vocal while the male was working on something within the nest. The female joined and lay low and the male flew off.
One osprey was in the nest, but sitting so low only wingtips were visible. A second osprey was across the street on a tree, potentially its mate. Neither moved while I was there.
2 ospreys in nest, 2-3 more flying in area. The two in the nest were very vocal and didn't leave the nest during my watch.
2 ospreys were lying low in nest, though after a while one of them flew off to a neighboring tree. There was a 3rd osprey circling overhead, potential neighbor from another nest.
Male and female osprey were in nest. There's a potential woodpecker nest below them in the tree. A lot of turkey vultures were in the area and were harassing the ospreys for about 20 minutes until the ospreys chased them off. I'll be watching for repeated actions in the future.
Pair was seen in the nest together
Finally saw a pair in nest. There are two nests on the tree. One is in middle of tree other at top of tree. Nest located at top of tree is active. Nest is in good condition. Female osprey was laying in nest.
No osprey in nest or area. Nest is in good condition.
Male osprey was seen perched on a tree next to nest.
No osprey in the nest, but male osprey seen flying in the area.
No osprey in nest or in the area. Maybe nest is dead?
Nest in middle of dead tree. Nest in moderate condition. However, it is not as developed as other ones in this area. Male Osprey was in area.
Could not locate nest, unsure if it still exists. May have been damaged during past hurricane hermine. No ospreys were sighted.
Could not locate nest once again.
No ospreys sighted in area. Was unable to locate nest this time.
No ospreys were sighted in area.

No ospreys in the nest but female osprey perched about 100 ft from the nest
A female was perched in the nest, seems to be a small improvement on the quality of the nest.
No osprey present in nest but male osprey perched to the left of the nest, hopefully he makes this nest his because if not the nest does not look like it is going to last much longer. Also the tree that it is on looks very unstable.
Still no ospreys present and nest still looks like no one is attending to it.
Still no ospreys present at nest but some flying around the golf course ponds located close by
Still no ospreys present and the look of the nest has not improved

No ospreys present and nest still looks abandon.
No ospreys present in or round nest. The nest is very sloppy and looks to be falling apart.
There was one osprey in the nest switching between perching and laying down. There was also a very large osprey in a tree nearby, but it was hard to tell if it was the other osprey's partner because they did not interact when we were there.
Today, a little after 1:45pm, there were no ospreys seen around or present at the nest.
No ospreys were at the nest. The nest does not seem to look like they are taken care of it at all. But there was an osprey of an unknown sex that was about 60 feet in another tree
When this nest was monitored around 1:30-1:45 today, there were no ospreys present.
Today around 12:30 I noticed one female Osprey perched directly next to the nest on a different branch, observing the area around her. A male Osprey was sitting in a tree about 100 yards away from her. She called out in his general direction, but we saw no further actions following.
Today we saw one female Osprey perched on the nest and then we had the opportunity to watch her chase off other birds away from the nest (possibly crows) before returning to the nest. A male Osprey perched in a tree to the immediate right of the nest.
A male and female Osprey were seen within 50-100 feet of this nest but did not seem to have chosen to live in it yet.
No nesting during 2013 season
