Small amount of nesting material, with some Spanish moss. One male sighted preening himself on perch above nest, no sighting of female. One local reported having seen the female fly off and not return in the past few days after the male failed to bring her food.
Pair of Osprey still present, in the same places as they were last week. The nesting pole has a metal dish on the top of it and remains completely clean. There were a few other pairs in the area however it appears that these two have claimed this pole, they just do not seem to be making any nesting moves.
There was no sign of any osprey in the nest of in the immediate area. There was an osprey sighted half way between this nest and the nest at the middle school (4572).
Observed female osprey perched on pole up above nest platform. Male osprey inside nest, flew out circled nest, tried to land next/ on top of female (pole was to small) then flew down back into the nest. Nest seems to be growing.
female osprey perched on pole above nest. male is sitting low in the center of the nest. male flew out and circled the nest and landed on top of the female ( literally perched on top of her back) then flew back into the nest.
First time visiting this nest. Nest platform seemed pretty bare, not many sticks. Bird was sitting inside nest. Due the size of the platform could not identify its sex.
Today was the first time that I found this nest. The nest is very hard to see again, because of the larger platform that it sits on. There was an osprey occupying this nest. It was sitting down in the nest and could not determine the sex of the osprey.
A teacher at Bay Point Elementary contacted me in early December about this nest. She said the platform was falling apart. She was right. The pole wasn't going to make it either so we installed a new pole and fiberglass dish platform on 1/4/13. There was a pair of kids pants in the nest!
