Spotted 2 chicks in the nest today!

04/04/2023 by ospreychick
4/4/23 - observed female on nest chirping at another bird flying by. Saw this behavior twice today. Her mate definitely returned and I've seen them both in the nest.

03/29/2023 by Mr. Onset
3/29/2023 10:30 AM - spotted one Osprey above and near the nest calling. I'll be looking for a pair and be more ready with my cell phone.

08/17/2022 by ospreychick
Biking and driving past the nest recently I've only seen one or 2 birds around. Adults are most likely gone.

08/16/2022 by SMF
The date of pledging is an estimate. I was away on vacation. Hadn't fledged before, but had after i got back.

08/12/2022 by ospreychick
4 birds in nest which means at least one adult is still here.

07/26/2022 by SMF
While watching adult landed and 2 chicks were seen. A second adult landed carrying a fish. The 2 chicks bent over spent the next 15 minutes eating. They then settled down in the nest. The chicks are almost as big as the adults. Have seen some wing flapping, but no serious practice yet.

07/26/2022 by ospreychick
Looks like there are still 3 chicks in the nest, still flapping. I don't think they've fledged yet.

07/13/2022 by ospreychick
Observed the nest from my kayak and saw 4 birds in the nest! Probably 3 chicks and Mama.

07/10/2022 by ospreychick
Saw a chick standing and flapping his wings when I drove by today!

06/21/2022 by SMF
Saw 2 chicks heads pop up out of the nest today.

06/16/2022 by SMF
Observed feeding activity and saw the top of one chick's head.

06/01/2022 by ospreychick
Drove by the nest today and the female was definitely out of the incubating position. I think we have a hatch!

05/30/2022 by SMF
Haven't seen any activity in the past week or so. (Was away from May 14 to 21. So no observations.) Previously, had seen adult on the nest, presumably sitting on eggs.

04/22/2022 by ospreychick
Drove by nests and it looked like female was in incubating posture!

04/19/2022 by ospreychick
Female was in nest but I don't think she was incubating yet.

04/10/2022 by ospreychick
Drove by nest and the birds were in the nest mating.

04/02/2022 by ospreychick
Both birds visible in nest

03/26/2022 by Mr. Onset
The Osprey are back! Picture was taken 3/26/2022 at 11:34 AM

07/07/2021 by ospreychick
1 adult and THREE chicks clearly visible in nest this AM!

06/25/2021 by ospreychick
No adults in nest but I clearly saw 2 chicks. One stretched out his wing. As I watched, an adult came back and settled on the nest.

04/07/2021 by Mr. Onset
One adult arrived 3/29/2021 but it took until 4/7/2021 before I could confirm two osprey occupying the nest at the same time (see image)

03/30/2021 by Scully
Saw the pair -- Pic # 3573(2)

07/14/2020 by SMF
Saw both chicks taking flights today.

07/10/2020 by ospreychick
Floated by in my kayak and saw both chicks stretching their wings in the nest. Mom was sitting on the capped utility pole next to the nest, seemingly coaching them. From reading SMF's entry from the day before, I guess one of them had already flown. Yay!

07/09/2020 by SMF
Saw one of the chicks take a test flight. Started by spreading wings in the wind. Then flapped and rose about 2 feet above the nest. Only stayed for about a minute before settling back down.

07/01/2020 by ospreychick
Rode by in my kayak and saw 2 chicks and an adult in nest.

06/20/2020 by SMF
Just happened to be watching the nest at about 5 pm when one of the adults (I think the male) came back with a fish. The other adult was nestled down in the nest and rose up when supper arrived.

06/12/2020 by Scully
Saw one chick Pic # 0795(2) & 0795 - 4:04 pm

06/10/2020 by ospreychick
Clearly saw 2 chicks in nest!

06/07/2020 by SMF
Most days this week a chick's head was observed poking above the rim of the nest. Have only seen one chick at a time. So still don't know how many chicks have hatched.

06/01/2020 by SMF
First observation of chick in nest. Because of viewing angle, it's hard to see activity in the nest. Did see a chick's head pop up a few times.

05/25/2020 by ospreychick
On 5/23 I observed both birds in nest, not in incubating posture. Same thing on Sunday, 5/24. It seems that the chicks might have hatched.

05/06/2020 by ospreychick
I witnessed the changing of the guard this morning. One bird flew into nest, the one who had been incubating flew out and the other bird settled on the eggs.

04/19/2020 by Mr. Onset
At least 4 small birds are using the platform into which to build their own nests.

04/10/2020 by SMF
Mating activity observed again today.

04/03/2020 by SMF
Male and female repairing the nest.

03/31/2020 by jzskins
Single osprey in nest @ 4:00 PM

03/28/2020 by ospreychick
I ran across the stone bridge towards the nest at about 7:30 this morning. Both birds were in the nest and watched me run by. Looked like a few new sticks had been added.

03/27/2020 by Mr. Onset
Three osprey in area. The one in the nest had a fish. The other two circling and flying fast. Images taken 3/27/2020 at 1?12 PM.

03/26/2020 by Scully
