03/05/2017 by LarkH
No ospreys and nest looks same

03/01/2017 by LarkH
Nest empty and looks same, but male eating fish on nearby branch. One male flew past, then I saw three other males circling above with two turkey vultures (possibly because of the heat?)

02/23/2017 by LarkH
Nest the same. No ospreys in the nest but there was a female eating a fish on the tree next to the nest.

02/11/2017 by LarkH
Nest in bad condition still, but a male was perched on the branch above it again. No other ospreys in the area.

02/04/2017 by LarkH

Nest is in bad condition.

01/06/2017 by CharlotteS
Nest is in bad condition, it looks like part of the nest fell off. It is possible it is a dead nest.

12/07/2016 by JoC

04/21/2016 by Mardy(Gloria)Eckerd
Some smaller birds were sighted around the nest, but no osprey sightings. Perhaps this nest has been taken over?

04/14/2016 by Mardy(Gloria)Eckerd
No change in nest size, and still no osprey sighting. However the nest is still in good condition, and is large.

04/07/2016 by Mardy(Gloria)Eckerd
Again, no sighting of ospreys. However, some trash has been added to the nest? Possible occupation?

03/31/2016 by Mardy(Gloria)Eckerd
Still no sighting of ospreys. Possible this nest has been abandoned?

03/24/2016 by Mardy(Gloria)Eckerd
Again, no sighting of ospreys, however nest seems to be in good condition.

03/17/2016 by Mardy(Gloria)Eckerd

One male osprey spotted eating in a nearby tree, multiple parakeets spotted around.

01/20/2016 by ToucanSam
No Osprey present in nest

01/10/2016 by ToucanSam
Large well built nest, however no Osprey in sight and none could be heard calling either. The tree a mere two feet away was covered in at least 40 Fish Crows. This may account for empty nest?
