| Note: | Per Stuart D. from the OBC, the nesting material was actually moved to a platform built on an old rowboat anchored about 40 ft from the dock, quite the innovative solution. As of this morning's nest check, ospreys were actively observed using the new rowboat platform! Will have to see how it goes moving forward. | ||||||

| Note: | An OBC camera was able to capture a photo of two new eggs! That was pretty quick. | ||||||

| Note: | Longer story here, but the rowboat nest was already not in good shape. Then a storm on May 30 tipped over the boat completely, so the nest is no longer. The birds may have moved to a different location. | ||||||
