April 21 | Kathy | 1 | N | N | |||
Note: | There were new sports lights put up this year, so the nest from last year is completely gone. However, I do see a new nest (in progress) in the same exact location as previous year. There is one adult sitting in that nest. I did see one adult male perched across the field on another light post. My guess is that there is not yet an egg, as the nest seems pretty flat and not built up yet. But I am not sure! Since there is a second nest at this site, there were 2-3 other osprey flying around. | ||||||
April 28 | Kathy | 0 | N | N | |||
Note: | Several adult osprey in this area. There are two nests in one field. This "west" nest is the one on the right when looking from the very distal softball field parking lot. I saw one osprey perched across field on a different light post. One adult brought a fish to this nest, stayed for less than one minute, and then flew away to another light post to perch there with the fish. It was not clear if an osprey was inside this nest incubating or not. The one with the fish looks like a female due to chest markings. ? | ||||||
