Nesting Diaries

I checked the nest this morning and it appears that the female is incubating. She was down in the nest in that posture and the male was perched nearby. I checked two different times about 10 minutes apart and she remained down in the nest.

I noticed both birds at the nest for the first time on 4/12/16.

I checked the nest today and observed an Osprey perched on a schooner that is docked at the nest sight. I believe it is one of the residents, but couldn't tell if male or female.
