Nesting Diaries
one adult on perch, unlikely this pair will have young this year, not sure what is keeping them from nesting 2 years in a row
CIB osprey survey volunteer reports copulation attempt today
pair has not settled down, both at nest site but no signs of copulation or incubation
pair at nest, could not confirm incubation
pair remains at nesting platform and dining perch and in the trees near their frustration nest.
pair abandoned nesting after chicks hatched, I observed feeding behavior but 3 weeks later nesting failed and pair has moved to far treeline
one incubating today, did not see or hear mate
nesting platform is new this season but is replacing a nest platform that was either stolen or fell into the water. ospreys took to it immediately and are happily incubating eggs out on a nice private area of the marsh
