The parents were observed sitting on the nest and on 6/15 heads of two appeared. One looked maybe a week older than the other hatchling. They were being fed by the parents on 6/15.
Only one hatchling seems to be on nest. seems to be fledgling as Mom is flapping wings and demonstrating flying. Baby is watching closely.

The nest has been active for several weeks and both Ospreys have been on the nest. At this point, one bird is always on the edge or in the nest.
The p[air have been rebuilding their nest and seem now to have settled in.
Today, August 28, 2020, as I looked to the nest, it was bare. No nest straw, no ospreys. I saw the three on the nest the night before. I will continue to watch and see if the osprey return at any point.
Watching these three juveniles over the last 7 days and see them on the logs on the sand, flying over the water and, at times, out of sight. Return to the nest in late afternoon, evening.
The little ones are no longer so little, flying close to nest and trying out their wings.
