Nest appears to be deserted

05/27/2022 by NW
Seems like the hatchlings (2) are now being fed by Mom and Dad

The platform for Nest 6640, between Nest 6979 and the River Club Dock was blown down in February, 2022. On March 5, 2022, the platform was raised again but a little closer to the River Club Dock. over the next couple of weeks a nest was built and a pair were observed to be there on the nest on March 17, 2022. As of April 15, 2022, one adult is seen to be sitting in the nest constantly.

As I have seen this nest recently, it now seems that I am able to make out TWO babies in the nest. I will keep watching as they still are not fledging.

04/26/2021 by NW
Nest has been active for several weeks and there is always at least one Osprey sitting on edge of the nest. Occasionally two are there.

08/28/2020 by NW
At the moment, both of the osprey are on the nest though more and more frequently, I only see one.

08/12/2020 by NW
Watching the babies, actually juveniles, for over a week as they explore further and further from the nest, always returning to nest in the evening. At times they perch in the pine trees and chirp in the mornings.

07/17/2020 by NW
Babies are cautiously flying out and back, out to the water and back.

07/15/2020 by NW
Babies still doing flying lessons.

Female osprey on the nest as if 2/10/18

06/25/2017 by Sally
Three healthy chicks are grown and ready to fledge. They are practicing and doing well. Any day now.

05/22/2017 by Sally
Chick's head popped up while female was feeding it today. Observed through telescope. Possibly two chicks but only saw one today.

04/01/2017 by Sally
The female is spending most of the time on the eggs while the male delivers fresh fish at least twice a day. No big disturbances. The female looks very calm.

Pole and platform were installed on March 3, 2017. Three days later, a male osprey arrived and starting building the nest. A female arrived on March 10 and they have been occupying the nest almost full time as of March 13. They have been mating on the nest since March 10.
