At first I thought the nest was empty. Closer observation revealed an Osprey sitting deep in the nest. Reporting as egg incubation.

One chick still in the nest. The other chick was perched in a tree very close by. No adults present at 5:30pm.

07/24/2013 by pammonahan
I could only see one chick in the nest. Dad was in there also. Dad took off and flew circles in the vicinity, including barrel rolls and dives. Maybe to show chick how fun it is! I thought it was an awesome air show!

07/23/2013 by pammonahan
Went back late this afternoon. Two chicks in the nest. Male in nearby tree keeping watch. Female flew over and circled twice.

07/23/2013 by pammonahan
One chick still in the nest. Looks like it is just about ready to fledge, so we will see!

07/22/2013 by pammonahan
One chick and one adult in the nest. Adult flew on my approach. I sat in my car and the adult circled for about 7 minutes and then perched in a nearby tree.

Nest discovered late in the nesting season. Two older chicks observed in the nest. One has definitely fledged.
