Last we checked this nest, there was still incubation going on.

Sadly, this nest seems to have failed. They had one chick, but we have not seen any activity at all for well over a week.

The nest is still managing to stay on the sign this season and an osprey has been incubating for awhile now. Both have been seen in or near the nest.

Nest is coming along well, even with all of the plastic pieces they have up there!

This pair is actually rebuilding their nest on top of this sign frame!!! They have been successful here before, although last year didn't work out. We're wishing them luck!

Both ospreys were on the sign today. It will be interesting to see if they rebuild.

The nest built here was never used and is no more.

As of 3/16/15, this nest is gone. I'm assuming someone working on the billboard has torn it down. It was well protected from the elements and fit nicely between 2 billboard signs.

This nest has not been used, afterall.

There were 2 heads showing over the edge of this nest on 6/15/2014. It's a relatively new nest, so I am assuming it was adult birds.

This nest is in a bad place for watching, since it's on a billboard in a main intersection of town. We did hear osprey calls in the general area of the nest today, but can not see any activity.
