Lone bird spotted on previous nest location. Nest blown away in 2014-2015 winter.
No action at nest. Couple of Osprey flying overhead

One adult standing on nest. No sighting of chicks. Second adult flew past seeming to drop a fish on nest. Third osprey chased second adult. All adults left the nest never to return for the 20 minutes of observation from kayak. An hour later - one adult seen standing on nest from Rt 199 location - no sight of chicks.
Female on nest, rearranging sticks, no chicks visible, but they will only be visible when they are larger due to the viewing angle.
Bird on nest -- no second bird in sight
