Nesting Diaries
Jim H. reports there have been osprey around the nest over the last few days. On some occasions, there are single osprey and/or a pair of osprey. However, actual nesting does not seem to have occurred yet.
Jim H. reported: He confirmed that nest is still present.
Jim H reports:
Despite seeing a large osprey at the nest all spring and into summer, I have not observed any feeding behavior nor have I seen any fledglings. My only conclusion is that the nest was unsuccessful this year.
NOTE: We are assuming that either the eggs never hatched or if they did, the nestling did not survive for long enough to even observe feeding behavior.
Jim H reports:
Nest 8813 is an active nest. I have seen at least one osprey around or near the nest every time I have looked - which is every 7-10 days since the beginning of March.
I am guessing that the female started incubating the nest around March 25. It was very difficult to see if the female is on the nest due to the height of the pine tree.
Around May 7th, I observed both osprey with one osprey standing on the edge of the nest. I'm thinking that the eggs have hatched and the female has moved to the edge to give the chicks some room. I have seen the male bringing in fish.
Jim H reports: On approximately March 1, an osprey was seen on a branch close to the nest. At weekly intervals, the nest has been checked and there has been an osprey perched close to the nest. The nest is too high to see if there is a female on the nest.
Steve J reports: I have visited the above nest the last 2 mornings (early) Both days 2 Osprey were in the area. Today, as you can see in the pic they were in/near/on top of the nest.
Steve J reports:I saw an Osprey fly into the nest. I went back a bit later and as you can see, an Osprey is next to the nest. 2 photos added
