I did not track when the juvenile left, but only saw one juvenile.

Around 7 am, juvenile and adult were in the nest and another adult was on a nearby tower strut apparently eating a fish. The juvenile was occasionally flapping and making begging noises. When I returned about 10 minutes later, the juvenile was by the adult with the fish--the adult flew off. The juvenile was moving around, trying to get its footing--one foot was on something it could grip, the other on something that looked more like a peg than something it could grip. After a minute or so, the juvenile dropped down and started flying. It looked like it was not a proficient flyer in that it made sudden drops and side banks rather than a straight smooth flight. It looped the parking lot, went back up to the tower, looked like it would land but didn't, did another loop of the tower, then landed. It did not look like there was another nestling, but I will check again. Although I have marked this as its fledge date, that is an approximation as I had not been by the nest for several days.

First time I spotted an osprey on the tower was 4/1/23--there was only one. There were definitely two osprey on 4/4/23. On 4/6/23 the male sky danced for about 10 minutes. During that time, the female moved from a lower bar up to the nest.

7:15 AM 4 osprey were on on the tower. Two adults, one juvenile eating a fish and one juvenile begging from near the nest. So it looks like two fledges.

Nest remains active. One adult appeared to be feeding at the nest this morning around 7:15 am. I have still not been able to spot chick or chicks. Yesterday, both adults were on the tower though not actually on the nest at about the same time.

Nest remains active--one osprey was sitting on or near the nest in the morning. Nest is too high up to see chicks, but presumably they have chicks since they remain at the nest.

4/5/22. One osprey was flying low over parking lots around Ocean Blvd apparently looking for nesting materials. It flew back up to the radio tower. A second osprey arrive within about a minute with a fish and joined the other at the nest on the tower.

Last time I saw an osprey at the nest was 9/10/22. Did not ascertain age.
