Nesting Diaries

06/02/2023 by saphyress
Both are very consistently at the nest, do seem to be nesting per usual, too far out to see if any babies have hatched yet.

04/04/2023 by saphyress
They have settled right in, very active every day.

03/27/2023 by lost_bird
Saw both birds sitting close together on the nest.

03/21/2023 by saphyress
Saw one in nest and one flying around.

07/23/2022 by saphyress
Definitely see two, getting big and practicing flying

06/27/2022 by saphyress
One of the little ones was sitting outside of the nest. Got a pic, will upload it later.

06/12/2022 by saphyress
Saw two or three nestlings big enough to see over the edge of the nest.

05/31/2022 by saphyress
Female was very intent on the nest by her feet today. Kept moving around but consistently looking down.

05/30/2022 by saphyress
Consistently see both of them, both look healthy.

04/29/2022 by saphyress
Consistently see both of them and female seems to be staying in the nest for the last week or so

03/23/2022 by lost_bird
Two birds on the nest today, uploaded photo.

03/21/2022 by lost_bird
Looks like the male arrived late yesterday, hooray!

09/06/2021 by lost_bird
Thought both chicks were gone but one still seemed to be around yesterday.

08/25/2021 by lost_bird
Both chicks are still around but looks like the parents may have started to leave.

07/05/2021 by lost_bird
Definitely two chicks! Adding photo.

06/27/2021 by lost_bird
Pretty sure we have confirmed two chicks in the nest, hope to post a photo soon.

06/22/2021 by lost_bird
Per the latest photo, you can see what looks like a 2nd chick behind the female. Time will tell.

06/21/2021 by lost_bird
We've seen at least one chick in the nest and possibly two but haven't been able to get a clear photo yet.

05/26/2021 by lost_bird
Hatching has definitely started as of last Friday. Observed the female higher in the nest and tending to what must be chicks, can't see them yet though.

05/23/2021 by lost_bird
Saw the female off the nest for a little while 2 days ago. Thinking that maybe some hatching has started, will keep watch.

04/19/2021 by lost_bird
Incubation definitely in progress for about a week now. Saw the female adjust herself a bit and then settle back down. The male was perched on the side though we often see him on the ground below the nest.

04/13/2021 by lost_bird
This pair got right down to business as usual, and the nest looks great. Wondering whether incubation might have started since the female does not seem to be leaving the nest very much.

03/27/2021 by lost_bird
Spotted the mate yesterday, and was able to get a photo of the pair today.

03/24/2021 by lost_bird
First nest occupant arrived today, hooray!

08/31/2020 by lost_bird
Parents left earlier in August. Both chicks were around for several weeks, now appears to be one left.

07/19/2020 by lost_bird
Started to see an empty nest a few days ago; both chicks are now flying around!

07/01/2020 by lost_bird
Chicks are growing up so fast. Plus the pair nested very early so they are way ahead of other local nests. The chicks are almost as big as their parents (per new pic).

06/16/2020 by lost_bird
Actually there are 2 chicks visible in the latest photo!

06/14/2020 by lost_bird
So far have only seen one chick and he's getting bigger. See photo.

06/03/2020 by lost_bird
First sighting of a nestling yesterday! See photo.

05/21/2020 by lost_bird
Starting to see the female move around in the nest more, with her head bent down, so looks like hatching has begun. Then she goes back to incubation.

04/12/2020 by lost_bird
Looks like the female may be incubating, she's on the nest all the time lately.

03/21/2020 by lost_bird
Possible sighting of the male on 3/20. Then by 3/21 both birds had arrived and gotten to work on the nest!
