| April 17 | wmcdonald | 2 | U | N |
|
||
| Note: | It appeared that the 2 ospreys swapped turns incubating. | ||||||
| April 23 | The D | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Female in the nest; male (huge) perched on a tree branch about 50 yards away. He would look over his shoulder at the river often. The female just sat in her nest. Observed for 20 minutes. | ||||||
| April 29 | The D | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Female in nest, moving about a bit - not nesting. Male 50 yards away, perched on high tree. Left branch to "escort" another male from the area. Went down to the dam (looking for herring?) and returned, but not to the same tree. Then there were 3 up high, soaring. | ||||||
| May 13 | The D | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Two Osprey were in the nest. At one point, a third flew over ferom somewhere, hovering over the nest for a few seconds, until one in the nest made a grand wing-flapping display. They were often shifting around, so I don't think that there are any eggs yet. | ||||||
| May 20 | The D | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | The osprey (female?) was alone in the nest, but not quiety sitting as she would be if sitting on eggs. she was shifting positions every couple of minutes. I don't recognize that behavior, except that maybe she's getting ready to lay. No sign of the male. Delivery room jitters? | ||||||
| May 26 | wmcdonald | 2 | U | N |
|
||
| Note: | I watched the 2 ospreys on the nest for about 15 minutes during the parade. They didn't seem to care even when the soldiers fired their muskets right next to us on Main street at the corner. When I left they had really settled down low in the nest. | ||||||
| May 26 | The D | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | One was sitting, not nesting, over to one side. After 5 minutes, the other one (male?) came in with a fish. They were both there for about 10 minutes, until the one who brought the fish flew away; but circled back after 2-3 minutes to perch on his favorite tree, about 50 yards from the nest and from my site. They were each chirping at the other for 5 minutes, and then quieted down. The nester (female?) never settled down, as if she would to sit on eggs. I left after 30 minutes. | ||||||
| June 3 | The D | 1 | N | 2 | feeding, young standing | ||
| Note: | The female (?) was standing, when all of a sudden I saw two chick heads and their scrawny necks. After about 10 minutes, she laft for about 3 minutes, and came back with a long, dangling eel, on which, she promptly weny to town. She stood the whole time I was there. I didn't here any squeaks from the young. | ||||||
| June 10 | The D | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | I believe that my not seeing the 2 young that I have seen last week, is because the female was keeping them warm and dry on this rainy day. Which is why I only logged 10 minutes of observation time - in between showers, and then caught in the next. My friend, also watching, is pretty sure that she saw a small head poke up at one point, which would be entirely possible. | ||||||
| June 18 | The D | 1 | N | 2 | young standing | ||
| Note: | They stood a couple of times, and then weren't. They're noticeably bigger, still with young coloring. No sign of dad. Mom stood the whole time, on the edge of the nest. | ||||||
| June 24 | The D | 1 | N | U | |||
| Note: | One adult (female?) was perched, shading a young. Because of her perch, I couldn't see the second young until later. Al three would occasionally flap their wings. The young are so much bigger than last week, that when they flapped, I wondered if they might fledge; they still have their juvenile coloring. | ||||||
| June 30 | The D | 1 | N | 1 | young laying down | ||
| Note: | Laying down most of the time, but poked its head up a couple of times. The adult was spreading its wings to shade it from the sun. | ||||||
| July 7 | The D | 1 | N | 1 | young standing | ||
| Note: | The adult was standing the whole time; the young just popped its head up once for a few seconds. After maybe 15 minutes, she(?) started squawking, making me think that she was calling her mate to bring some more fish. | ||||||
| July 14 | The D | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Saw no nest activity. At one point, an adult came up from behind, but didn't land. Don't know if it was one of the nest adults or not. No one poked up from inside the nest. | ||||||
| July 21 | The D | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | There was no activity of any kind. However, yesterday, making a delivery, one adult and the young were in the nest, and the male was on a new perch, a wooden utility pole just 30 yards from me, at eye level. Quite cool. | ||||||
| July 28 | The D | 2 | N | Y | feeding | ||
| Note: | Saw one adult and one young in the nest (100 yards away). After 5 minutes, the adult flew off; and in another 5 minutes, the young flew over to me, with a fish, and perched on a utility pole 25 yards away. I watched him eat the fish for the rest of the time, while the adult returned and perched in a tree 50 yards away, just watching. | ||||||
| August 4 | The D | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Saw NO birds, in or around the nest, nor in their roosting tree, nor atop the wooden pole that they use for feeding on their newly caught fish. | ||||||
| August 11 | The D | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | No activity in nest or surrounding trees, or on the near pole where they sometimes feed. No sightings or soundings. | ||||||
| August 19 | The D | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | No activity at all around the nest. Not one osprey sighted. | ||||||
