Nesting Diaries
Adults are guarding the nest. Another adult flew into the area and were quickly chased away by the pair.
There appears to be nestlings!!
Adult feeding the chick was witnessed today.
One of the adults has obviously eaten today... check out the distance it's getting in the photo...
Adults building nest up. Taking turns sitting on nest. Unknown if eggs are laid.
One adult continues to sit on the nest at all hours and while the other one scouts/hunts.
We cannot confirm eggs or young because of access issues.
An adult was observed for an hour sitting in the nest during the day hunkered down and rotating every once in a while... let's hope for eggs!!
The second adult was scouting the area and flew by the nest several times.
Both adults are on the nest!!
They are busy building up the nest and hunting. One of them just caught a fish in the nearby water retention pond.
Woooo!
This morning one adult was seen on the nest... I will check early tomorrow morning for both, as I have only ever seen them together early morning...
Adults have been seen in the area for the last couple weeks...
the adults appear to have abandoned the nest building activities for unknown reasons...
Better luck next year!
The ospreys continue to build up the nest, but no sign of egg laying yet...
The ospreys are definitely building a nest on the platform... I observed one of them for more than 20min going back and forth from a forest adding more and more sticks etc... The other osprey was perched on the platform watching...
A pair of ospreys was spotted again using the platform, possibly engaging in mating behaviour... more branches have been added to the original platform by the ospreys... many sightings of ospreys in the area hunting and engaging in aerial acrobatics...
A single osprey was spotted heading in the direction of the platform with a fish...
A pair of ospreys was spotted using the platform, but soon left the area because of disturbance...
A single osprey was spotted using the platform during a rain storm... many sightings of osprey nearby...
I saw an osprey flying near the treatment plant on the Speed River yesterday (4-Apr-16). Very close to this platform. :)
The platform was erected on March 23rd 2016
