The bulk of the nest building seems to be done. The pair is spending some time, anyway, perched in a tree in a wooded area just south of the nest.

6:40 AM - Ten minutes after sunrise, I photoed one Osprey fly out of nest and land on top of the other Osprey. Possible copulation. 40°F and sunny. 6:22 AM sunrise. https://ebird.org/checklist/S130637342

Observed pair this a.m. Male both delivered nesting material and chased away crows. See photo #10.

The female has arrived. The male arrived in late Feb. I observed the female and male above the nest on the light tower on 3/7. She vocalized briefly (see photo #9).

Osprey perched beside nest. Presumably this large amount of nesting branches (packed onto the ball field's light) are leftover from last year.

6.45 AM - no ospreys visible at or around nest.

Much of the 2020 nest is still intact. It caught my eye, as I drove by; so I snapped a photo.

06/23/2020 by LauraLOVESbirds
6:11 AM Saw glimpses of a young bird’s head as adult broke off bites for feeding at nest. 72 degrees F.

12:50 PM - One Osprey in nest, and second osprey perched on top of parking lot light pole
