9:33 AM - checked cell tower. No Osprey, and no sign of nesting building.

10:52 AM: THREE Ospreys?! I observed, as I was driving north on Kempsville. Two of the Ospreys were flying towards me from the cell tower. The third Osprey was flying above the cell tower.

10:50 AM - I observed as I was exiting I-264E onto Newtown. One Osprey flapping its wings on top of the cell tower, the other flying overhead.

3:30 PM - Watched Osprey circling above cell tower and I-64. Cell tower has branches - either leftover, but more likely the start of this year’s nest. Large branches. 51°F and sunny.

Osprey appear to be incubating. Crows are pestering them over and over. Both male and female at nest.

I believe this is the Osprey pair that have been displaced from their long time nest on cell tower nest #4083 on Business Park half mile east along I-264 and Greenwich Rd. That nest is now occupied by a pair of bald eagles and is now BE nest VB1403
