| Note: | Jack C reports: 11231 Osprey flew into the tree at the level of the nest but I could not see if there was one on nest; NOTE: Incubation may have started but we will wait for further evidence. | ||||||
| April 10 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | Y | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Jack C reports: Osprey flew into nest and dropped off fish and took off again. I could not see into the nest. NOTE: The behavior of dropping a fish into the nest suggests that one osprey was in the nest incubating. NOTE: Based on this and the previous observation it is assumed that incubation is underway. We will guess it began around March 27th. This is a guess based on suspected incubation behavior. | ||||||
