| Note: | Mollie K reports: Nest 11235 (Crossings): 3/10/26: No activity for a while then an osprey flew into a tree across from the nest with something in their talons. Ate a little snack. (Picture of osprey attached) | ||||||

| Note: | Mollie reports: 4/7/26: osprey flew in with nesting material (spanish moss) and hung out for a bit in the nest vocalizing. | ||||||
| April 8 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | U | N | |||
| Note: | Mollie reports: 4/8/26: Lots of vocalizing and flying around. Lots of wing flapping when landing in the nest. Sounds like there is an osprey in the nest but can't see it. NOTE: IT is possible incubation has begun. | ||||||
| April 28 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | Y | N | incubation |
|
|
| Note: | Mollie reports: 4/28/26: Hear chirping in nest but can't see anything NOTE: This seems to indicate incubation has begun. We will tentatively list it as starting after 4/8 and before 4/28 so will record 4/15 as the start. | ||||||
| May 6 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | Y | N | incubation |
|
|
| Note: | Mollie reports: 5/6/26: Flying around then landed below the nest. After 20 minutes the female flew off and then into the nest and male brought fish but landed in another tree and began to eat it. I did not see him move to the nest, but had to leave shortly after seeing this. NOTE: This seems to confirm incubation. | ||||||
| May 13 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | Y | N | incubation |
|
|
| Note: | Mollie K reports: 11235: 5/13/26: Osprey flying in the area. 10 minutes later, the osprey landed in the nest and hung out for a minute. There was another osprey in the nest. NOTE: we are assuming that incubation continues. | ||||||
| June 17 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | 1 | feeding |
|
|
| Note: | Joanne V reports: This observation was made the morning of 6/17. This nest is fairly obstructed with pine needles and branches. Throughout the 15 minute observation no osprey ever poked its head above the nest. No chirping was audible. At times, there appeared to be 2 adult osprey in the nest, but I could not confirm this. The photo shows a possible 2nd set of tail feathers to the left of the more prominent set (although it could be a wing). There was considerable movement and it appeared that the osprey on the right was engaged in feeding behavior. The tail often moved up and down . It is likely that at least one egg has hatched based on this observation. NOTE: Based on this and earlier reports, hatching probably occurred about May 31. We will indicate that there is at least one nestling. | ||||||
