| March 31 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | I saw one bird arrive yesterday, March 30, 2026. Just now when I watched through my telescope there were two. One quite a bit larger than the other, so I believe a male and female. The smaller one has a distinctive white streak on its shoulder as did last year’s male. | ||||||
| April 2 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | The old nest was destroyed in the June storm last year and sits on the platform underneath the column that it was built atop. The two birds are sitting on a rail just above the old nest. I am curious to see if they build atop the old nest, or start over atop the column. | ||||||
| April 4 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Just observed birds mating atop the right side of the rail around the structure. As they faced me I had a good view of both through the telescope. Pretty sure these are the same birds that nested here last season. | ||||||
| April 7 | Riverside eyes | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | The new nest is being built atop the old nest that fell from the top of the structure on to the platform below during the July 4 storm last year. This is the first time in the 3 years I have watched them that the nest has been built on the platform. Hopefully, it will be more secure in the new spot. | ||||||
| April 8 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Female arrives and calls, male comes and mounts her. After mating both are resting on the new nest and arranging sticks. | ||||||
| April 10 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | |||
| April 10 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Both birds on nest. Male chases off another Osprey that approaches the nest. Both birds leave the nest at 11:28 am. One returns with nesting material. Deposits it and takes off again. | ||||||
| April 11 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Male standing in the middle of the nest. Female on left side rail eating a fish. Male preening. Male flies off. Female moves from the rail, to standing on the nest. Make returns with nesting material. Both on nest as I sign off. | ||||||
| April 17 | Riverside eyes | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | First time that I have checked the nest that no birds have been there. At 5:40 pm Male is back sitting in nest and preening. 5:50 Male leaves nest, circles around and lands on the rail in the northeast side of the structure. Stays only a few minutes and takes off again. As I check out, nest is empty again | ||||||
| April 22 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Although I wrote “no” for eggs, this is the first time I have seen the female sitting deep down in the nest, with only the top of her head visible through my telescope. The male in on the right side of the rail that goes around the structure. It holds a fish against the rail and pecks at it. Unlike last years nest which was built at the very top of the structure, this year they built it up against the south side of the platform that is midway up the structure. It abuts the south side of the rail and was built atop the debris of last year’s nest that fell off onto the platform during the July 4 th microburst storm. | ||||||
| April 28 | Riverside eyes | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Again, I am sure the female is sitting on eggs. She is alone, deep down in the nest. I can only see the top of her head through the telescope. But because I can’t actually see eggs or the number, I recorded 0 above. 9:12 am Female still alone in nest. | ||||||
