Chick has not returned to the nest. Made its first flight from the nest to a nearby boat lift. One Parent was still putting sticks back in the nest. I wonder why?

Nestling is exercising wings and making little hops

06/16/2013 by Watcher
chicks are being cared for, but have only seen one so far. There should be more, perhaps they will show themselves soon.

Eggs are still being incubated. Male keeps company often.

This nest showed two regular brown speckled Osprey eggs and one greenish/light colored egg. This different colored egg is the same size as the Osprey egg and is identical to the egg seen outside Nest # 3973 Cove One. Any idea what it is???

This is the first nest occupied this season. The nest had blown over in a storm and the pair was waiting impatiently for us to erect it again. They immediately started building and soon after incubation began. Male hangs out in nearby trees
