Date Watcher Adults Eggs Young Observations Photo Edit
April 22 SDSRI 2 N N
Note: nest building and perching 15 minute record both male and female at the nest sparrow nesting in the twigs of the nest
April 23 Rick 2 N N
Note: Male flew to nest with a fish, then left nest for nearby light tower by playground and ate fish. Female lying down in nest.
April 30 Rick 0 N N
Note: No ospreys were seen between 12:00pm and 12:10pm
May 7 Rick 0 N N
Note: No ospreys viewed between 11:30 am and 11:40 am
May 7 SDSRI 1 N N
Note: single osprey sitting in the nest, looking around. no osprey calling heard. I would not be able to determine if there were eggs in the nest from my vantage point so I cannot confirm yes or no.
May 14 SDSRI 1 U N
Note: single osprey sitting in the nest - it is in full sun and is breathing with the beak quite open. No calling and no companion osprey observed. As before - a number of sparrows are entering and leaving their nests within the osprey nest.
May 16 Rick 0 N N
Note: No ospreys were seen. Beginning to wonder if the nest has been vacated. I have not seen any activity for 3 weeks.
May 28 SDSRI 2 U N incubation
Note: a single female osprey was perches on a floodlight installation at the playground. There was an osprey in the nest but was barely visible - sitting. After about 12 minutes the female flew to the nest and the - now identified male - left the nest. The female sat immediately suggesting to me that they are still incubating - no standing and careful positioning in the nest which I had seen on the Matunuck elementary school nest cam.
June 27 SDSRI 1 N 1 young standing
Note: This is the first observation of young in the nest and I saw only one. The adult female in the nest was not observed feeding the young osprey but was standing, looking around. This nest is at a playground and there was a baseball game going on, complete with a bounce house and other festivities. Appeared to have little affect on the osprey wince she was not staring in that direction. The adult left the nest, flew to what appeared to be about four streets away then flew some slow circles. A misguided smaller bird started pursuing the osprey who shortly after that did a quick turn and flew after the smaller bird - without getting close. It did not appear to be an attack at all, since the speed was slow. Then she returned to the nest.
July 10 SDSRI 1 N 1 young laying down
Note: Actually the female was standing. I saw no attention being paid to any area in the nest - just sitting. My concern was that the single young was not there - however - another rear portion of an osprey was raised and pooed outside the nest - which I will take as proof of life for the one fledgling I have observed in the nest.
July 16 SDSRI 1 N 2 feeding, young standing
Note: This is the first time I have seen two fledglings present in this nest. They were being fed by the female. The male was not seen.
July 22 SDSRI 1 N 2 young standing
Note: One fledgling was standing on the edge of the nest, one was sitting in the nest and an adult was sitting in the nest.
August 21 SDSRI 0 N 2 young standing
Note: Two active fledglings standing in the nest, stretching their wings. One of them is calling quite regularly. This nest was about a week behind the others in showing young but also has the most difficult angle for viewing.
