| Date | Watcher | Adults | Eggs | Young | Observations | Photo | Edit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| April 21 | Kathy | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Adult osprey sitting on a very flabby looking nest (consisting of a few sticks from what I can see with binoculars from the parking lot). I cannot be sure if it is female or male. I saw 4-5 ospreys flying around in the air over the nest and over the school. I saw one with a fish in its talons who I thought was going to bring it to this nest, but he didn't. He flew away. | ||||||
| April 27 | mferreira | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Both sitting in nest, possibly eating. One osprey left and returned with a large stick (nest building). | ||||||
| April 28 | Kathy | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Two ospreys seen on top of this skinny pole with evidence of more nest building. It is not likely eggs are in the nest yet, as neither adult is centered on nest continuously. One intruder male osprey flew to nest and the male chased him away. | ||||||
| May 4 | mferreira | 2 | U | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Likely incubating. One osprey was observed very close by on a light pole eating a fish, then flew up to the nest to join the other osprey. | ||||||
| May 5 | Kathy | 2 | U | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Rainy day. Male osprey was in the nest incubating, female returned to nest from a nearby flight and male switched positions with her. (He hopped to the side of the nest, and she resumed incubation). He then hopped on top of her to copulate. He flew off seconds later. | ||||||
| May 8 | mferreira | 1 | U | N | incubation | ||
| May 12 | Kathy | 1 | U | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Male flew over nest and perched in a nearby tree. Vocalizations heard. | ||||||
| May 16 | mferreira | 0 | U | U | |||
| May 24 | mferreira | 2 | U | U | incubation | ||
| Note: | One adult very low in nest cup, after 8 mins observation another adult osprey flew by, both calling to each other. | ||||||
| May 26 | Kathy | 1 | U | N | incubation | ||
| May 29 | mferreira | 1 | U | U | incubation | ||
| June 2 | Kathy | 2 | U | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | At first, only female in the middle of the nest. One distant osprey seen. Then, male osprey flew to nest, landed on top of female and flapped wings (copulation) , and then sat to the side of the nest, moved a stick around. Then he flew off. | ||||||
| June 4 | mferreira | 1 | U | U | incubation | ||
| June 11 | Kathy | 2 | U | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Similar to last week, witnessed female alone in nest with a visit from male, copulation, short company in the nest, and then flew off. I cannot see any hatchlings nor did I witness any feeding behavior. | ||||||
| June 15 | mferreira | 1 | U | U | incubation | ||
| June 16 | Kathy | 1 | U | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Female seen in middle of the nest, presumably incubating. Vocalizations were heard; male seen flying around overhead. The male then perched on a short pole in the parking lot very close to my observation point! Wow! Amazing to see up close. He was perched and just looking around, then defecated. Nature at its best. | ||||||
| June 20 | mferreira | 2 | U | U | incubation | ||
| Note: | Sitting to side of nest, eventually moved towards center, preening. Male returned with fish, though unclear if feeding the female or if they were feeding any nestlings (no young were visible) | ||||||
| June 24 | Kathy | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | No one seen today. Very hot day. Car temp said 99 degrees! | ||||||
| June 27 | mferreira | 1 | U | U | incubation | ||
| Note: | Female sitting on nest, very alert, no nestlings seen | ||||||
| June 30 | Kathy | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Male seen flying by and landed in nearby tree; perched there for a while. It is unclear if there are any young in the nest. | ||||||
| July 2 | Kathy | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Odd interesting behavior here today. Saw one adult male leave nest, fly to a tree across the parking lot and grass fields, pick up a big stick and land on a nearby pole with a transformer box labeled #72/10 (near green boat shed). Female then arrived at that pole, perched right next to him. They both stood there for a while. Adult male left the stick there, flew around field attempting to gather more sticks. He failed to break a branch off a dead tree mid-flight a couple times. Female left that pole and returned to original nest. Male then swooped toward the ground, scraping his talons on the grass fields and gathered dirt and grass. He brought that back to the original nest! It is unclear if there are any young in the nest. | ||||||
| July 5 | mferreira | 2 | U | U | |||
| Note: | One adult osprey eating a fish in the BH parking lot, the other flew off the nest as I arrived. No visible young during check | ||||||
| July 7 | Kathy | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | No one on nest; however, I saw two adult ospreys perched on a nearby tower in the bowling alley parking lot. | ||||||
| July 13 | mferreira | 0 | U | U | |||
| Note: | No osprey observed today | ||||||
| July 14 | Kathy | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Saw one adult perched on the nearby tower in the bowling ally parking lot, then two more adults flew towards this one and appeared to scuffle a little bit. One of them had a fish in its talons and flew toward the main osprey nest area, but after following him to the nest, he was not there. Still no evidence of successful nest. No young. | ||||||
| July 20 | mferreira | 0 | N | N | |||
| July 23 | Kathy | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Male perched nearby. Brought fish to the female in the nest and left to perch on another tree. | ||||||
| July 26 | mferreira | 2 | U | U | |||
| Note: | Two osprey were on the nest upon arrival, both looking towards center of nest. One left, the other sat in brooding position for a while, but also left the nest. Still no sign of successful nest. | ||||||

| August 16 | mferreira | 2 | N | N | |||
