| Note: | Nest appears sparse, however occupied by female who is sitting in it. Male monitors from a nearby tree, occasionally visiting nest. | ||||||
| April 28 | lynzie58 | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Female is sitting in nest. A male flew overhead with a fish but did not stop at her nest, continued heading west and did not return. Perhaps headed to another nest nearby? Male that usually sits in nearby tree to female here was not present, unless it was the male who flew by with the fish and did not return? | ||||||

| May 28 | SDSRI | 1 | N | 2 | young standing | ||
| Note: | 2 NESTLINGS SEEN LIFTING THEIR HEADS. POSSIBLY A THIRD. WHEN I BEGAN OBSERVING THE FEMALE WAS STANDING NEXT TO THE NESTLINGS - IT IS EASY TO SEE HER CURL IN HER TALONS AS SHE APPROACHES THE YOUNG. SHE DID THEN COVER THE YOUNG BY SITTING AND THEN PLACING HERSELF OVER THEM. NO MALE OBSERVED. FEMALE APPEARS TO TAKE A FEW BITES OF FOOD. HAVING THIS WEBCAM IS TERRIFIC. | ||||||
| May 28 | SDSRI | 2 | N | 2 | feeding, young standing | ||
| Note: | added note to first observation. the male arrived with a fish. Now is perching on the side of the nest. The female is feeding the young. Love this camera! | ||||||
| June 1 | SDSRI | 2 | N | 3 | feeding, young standing | ||
| Note: | This nest is observed from a webcam. Both male and female were at the nest. The male had just flown in with a fairly good sized fish, there was lots of excited chirping between the adults. The male then remained on a perch on the platform while the female fed the nestling. There are three nestlings. I had previously reported two I believe but clearly there are three. I had observed the nest yesterday during a very windy and rainy day. The female was low in the nest with her wings spread, covering the area on either side of her. Sheltering the nestlings. Brava! | ||||||
| June 3 | lynzie58 | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | I understand young have been seen on the webcam...I have been unable to see them from on-site. I look forward to checking the webcam! Female in her nest, low inside. Male was seen perched on phone pole about 100 feet away. | ||||||
| June 12 | lynzie58 | 1 | N | 3 | young laying down | ||
| Note: | Male is the only bird present since time of nest check and through 9:00 PM as I checked the nest cam. I cannot see the young onsite. When I arrived the male appeared distraught calling over and over for the entire 10 mins I was there from inside the nest. I have not witnessed the female return as of yet. The male is perched outside the nest now and preening and checking young. | ||||||
