Nesting Diaries

pair may have attempted to nest but unsuccessful every single year

05/26/2021 by baygirl
pair on nest, new nest material added

05/16/2020 by baygirl
no ospr seen here in past 2-3 days. i believe its abandoned possibly due to work being done at vfw , i was hoping this one season a pair could remain to have chicks but alas i thin the deck and lower parking lot activity disrupts birds at this platform

05/09/2020 by baygirl
one incubating in high wind and unseasonably cold day

04/23/2020 by baygirl
pair consistently on nesting platform with more nest material visible now, as long as the VFW remains closed the pair will probably incubate eggs soon

04/20/2020 by baygirl
pair at the nest again today, hesitant to say this nest is truly active cause as soon as i do the VFW will open back up and scuttle this pair away

04/19/2020 by baygirl
one on the nest, i think there is a pair here and that would make sense since the VFW is closed and no customers would be out on the nearby deck to disturb the ospreys

04/17/2020 by baygirl
one on nest

04/15/2020 by baygirl
1 on nest today

04/14/2020 by baygirl
2 osprey on platform today but i think just lookie lous possibly from other VFW platform

05/28/2019 by baygirl
while there is a pair at this nest off and on, I believe they are still moving between both VFW platforms and not settled

05/12/2019 by baygirl
one on nest rim of this platform today while at same time one on the new boat lift nest about c 1,000 feet away so i assume 2 different pairs...

05/06/2019 by baygirl
pair was building up the nest and perching on a live tree close by but as of this past weekend they may have moved to a nearby boat lift where people have now placed a small nest box.. the boat lift is not very high off the high water line.the osprey are not actually spending much time on the nest just hanging around the various docks near the boat lift...not a great place for them over this coming summer as too many people will be able to get quite close to them, i hope they don't lay eggs at the boat lift.

04/28/2019 by baygirl
no osprey seen today

04/19/2019 by baygirl
nest looks nice, both on nearby live tree branch at 3 pm today

04/14/2019 by baygirl
i believe this pair is now settling in on this nest but uses both VFW platforms

08/18/2018 by baygirl
looks like various osprey use these VFW platforms as a dining room, nothing serious happening just random sightings here.

06/03/2018 by baygirl
no activity, i believe they moved back to the upper parking lot platform

05/19/2018 by baygirl
have been seeing 2 osprey on this platform off and on since 5-14-18. they have been building up the nest, i think its the same pair from the other VFW failed platform.

09/21/2017 by baygirl
no osprey seen at this platform this year

12/23/2016 by baygirl
As in years past this nesting platform sees little osprey activity. Occasionally an osprey will land and sit for a second but mostly gulls perch here. I think the location is too loud and too much dog and people action.
