There was no sign of an osprey in the nest or on the light structure. There were a few other osprey in the area, but it is hard to determine which nest they belong to because it is so condensed in this area.

One nestling but no adults were present.

05/06/2014 by AKP
One adult and one nestling present. They are each preening themselves, perched upon the edge of the nest. By now the chick is quite old but there is still no sign of fledging.

04/29/2014 by AKP
There is an adult osprey present on the edge of the nest. The chick is sitting in the center with only the top of its head visible.

04/24/2014 by AKP
One adult and nestling easily visible. The nestling is growing rapidly. Upon arrival the adult flew the nest, circled, and landed. The adult flew away after ten more minutes. After the adult left the chick moved from the edge of the nest to the center.

04/17/2014 by AKP
There are both adults in the nest. The nestling is quite large, brown, and fluffy. It is ruffling its feathers and adjusting itself. Over the course of twenty minutes the female and chick sat down in the center of the nest and the male took flight.

04/10/2014 by AKP
There is an adult female osprey present tending to the center of the nest. It appears the chick is eating.

04/04/2014 by AKP
One adult osprey present during observation period. It was perched on the edge of its nest, preening itself.

03/18/2014 by AKP
One female osprey was present below the nest standing on the light pole. Visible briefly within the nest was a nestling.

03/13/2014 by AKP
One adult osprey seen tending to one nestling, feeding or grooming the young. Though two nestlings were observed a month ago, since that sighting there has only been one nestling visible. The adult osprey got up and flew away to perch on a nearby telephone wire.

03/06/2014 by AKP
Overcast, drizzling weather. No osprey visibly present in this nest. Perhaps the weather offered a good hunting opportunity. There was a little bit of movement in the nest, which were probably the nestlings sighted in previous weeks.

02/28/2014 by AKP
Female osprey seen sitting in the center of nest. Two nestlings were seen popping up briefly. Male osprey on nearby lightpole but may not necessarily be the male osprey occupying this nest.

02/20/2014 by AKP
From the normal vantage point it appeared as if there were osprey present. However, upon walking to a nearby nest and glancing back with binoculars a female was apparent sitting in the middle of the nest. The head of one nestling was briefly seen when the female readjusted herself.

02/15/2014 by AKP
Only the female was present during the period of observation. The mother was seen tending to her nestlings, though only one head was seen this time.

02/07/2014 by AKP
Both male and female osprey were present. Quickly after arrival the male circled, flying ~10ft above me. While the male astutely circled the nest the female was seen tending to nestlings. Two nestling heads were briefly visible. The male repeatedly circled and returned to the nest.

01/21/2014 by Dustin CL
Male and female osprey were laying low in nest next to each other and did not move. Last week it appeared as if the adult ospreys were catering to nestlings, but no sighting of a nestling was made.

01/15/2014 by Dustin CL
Male osprey perched next to the nest platform on the light pole, and did not move. The female osprey was perched on the side of the nest and seemed to be interacting with nestlings inside of the nest. Unfortunately the nest is very high up and I couldn't get visual confirmation of actual nestlings living in nest. However, the female osprey was bending over nest and opening beak and interacting with most likely two young.

01/09/2014 by Dustin CL
There was a male and a female osprey in nest. Male was perched on side of nest, occasionally shuffling feathers and shifting position. Female seemed to be in the incubation posture with a flat back. Neither birds left the nest
