I have seen the two osprey fly to the location of their nest and received a report from a neighbor behind the nest that the osprey can be seen flying in and heard but once they reach their tree, they cannot be seen as the tree top partially broke and has now regrown around the nest and blocks the view.

I have monitored this nest weekly but I believe it failed. When the tree re-leafed, the nest was completely hidden with new branches growing up and around the nest. I continued to see a corner of the nest and the adults still going to the location. However, at this time, although there are osprey flying overhead and sitting on the dock, they don't seem to go to the nest.

This is a new nest at this location. Male and female both actively building the nest. The pond is a favorite place for the osprey to fish.
