Christine B reports: This nest is gone

07/24/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Based on the observations in June and at various times in July, we have concluded that something happened to this nest and there are no fledglings.

06/20/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Christine B reports: No activity observed this day. I have checked on this nest several days last week and there has been no activity.

06/09/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Christine B reports: No activity NOTE: We are concerned that something happened to the nestling causing the pair to abandon the nest. I seems unlikely that I missed the fledging since I am in that area a lot.

06/08/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Christine B reports: I observed this nest from 7:15 pm to 8:00pm. Again as I said in my last report . I haven't a clue as to what happened to nest 7070. I am in that area morning noon and night and activity just abruptly stopped. I guess it is possible that I missed them fledge. I did not see any activity in this time period.

05/27/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Christine B reports: On my arrival to observe the nest, it looked empty but seconds later one adult Osprey flew into the nest and was flapping her wings and hoping around in the nest as if she did not want to step on the little ones. About 5 minutes after her arrival one adult flew in with a fish and dropped it into the nest. I heard what sounded like multiple chicks chirping . He took off and returned with something small and at that moment I heard one chick chirping. They both settled down in the nest and the chirping ceased.

05/17/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Christine B reports: Observed on May 10th and 17th 2020 No new behavior observed. One Osprey observed on both dates sitting very low in the nest. I could barely see her head. I did not see her partner near by on these dates.

05/04/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Christine B reports: The only activity I observed this AM was one adult Osprey standing in the nest looking around and chirping . I did not see any other adult in the area. NOTE: Based on this, we think hatching may have happened but May 1 is just a guess.

04/19/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Christine B reports: Osprey nest # 7070 before the storm. I have observed one adult Osprey either in the nest or on a branch perched beside the nest on these two days. No other type of activity observed.

03/24/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Christine B reports: Osprey Nest# 7070 March 23, 2020 I observed today for the first time one Osprey sitting low in the nest. I could only see her head. Her partner was on the edge of the nest and as I was observing them both her partner took to fight, soared above the nest then flew off. NOTE: This description may indicate incubation has begun.

03/14/2020 by HHI Osprey Watch
Christine B reports: 11:00AM I observed one Osprey sitting in the nest chirping and constantly looking in all directions. I have seen one Osprey in this nest or perched on a limb near the nest several times before this date. I have not observed two Osprey at this nest yet. My hope is I will be able to report on two Osprey at this nest soon.

06/15/2019 by HHI Osprey Watch
Christine B reports: June 12th 13th 14th 15th I have been observing this nest for 4 days in a row at different times AM and PM. I also have observed this nest prior to these dates and have not seen any signs of hatchlings. I have not seen an adult in the nest since my last report. I will keep an eye on it but I am afraid that something happened and there will not be any offspring from this nest this year.

This appears to be a new nest, so we do not have data on the arrival of the adults. Incubation is probably underway. Since we do not know the start date, we are estimating it as early April.

04/08/2018 by HHI Osprey Watch
Both parents were there. One flew away and one stayed and kept watch on a branch next to the nest.
