|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 20 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Sue F reports: It was late (getting dark) when I went to observe. It was hard to see whether there was much left of the nest. Definitively no ospreys yet. | ||||||
| February 11 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Sue F reports: this is a pretty messy nest. Saw no ospreys. | ||||||
| February 16 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Sue F reports the female was sitting on the nest. | ||||||
| March 2 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Sue F reports: Osprey standing on the edge of the nest. Flew off and I could not tell the sex | ||||||
| March 10 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Sue F reports: Female osprey sitting on the nest. | ||||||
| March 12 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Sue F reports: Female osprey sitting on the nest. | ||||||
| March 17 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Sue F reports: 3/15 Did not see an osprey near or on the nest. 3/17 Did not see an osprey near or on the nest. | ||||||
| April 1 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Sue F reports: 3/30 Did not see an osprey on or near the nest. I cannot see in the nest however so it’s possible the female is there. 4/1 Female in the nest, close enough to the edge that I can see her. She actually defecated over the edge. Hard to miss that. Hahaha! | ||||||
| April 7 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Sue F reports: 4/6 I didn’t see any ospreys but can’t see into the nest. I stayed for about 15 minutes 4/7 I didn’t see any ospreys but again I can’t see into the nest. | ||||||
| April 12 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | Y | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Wendy D reports: On April 12th I observed the adult in the nest who rose a bit and then hunkered down, confirming incubation. NOTE: We are going to date the start of incubation April 1st when it was first reported that she was down on the side of the nest and defecated over the edge. | ||||||
| April 24 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | Y | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Wendy D reports: April 24 - Again, I just saw the tip of a tail in the nest. | ||||||
| May 3 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | Y | N | incubation |
|
|
| Note: | Wendy D reports: May 3 - can clearly see just the white top of an adult's head. It appears horizontal and the tail feathers from previous visits would make sense with this position. | ||||||
| May 14 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | Y | N |
|
||
| Note: | Wendy D reports: May 14 - An adult is upright on the nest and appears to be eating. I suppose it could be feeding, but it looked more like it was eating. | ||||||
| May 28 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | 1 |
|
||
| Note: | Wendy D reports: May 28 - Adult standing on the side of the nest, looking into it. The adult looks quite thin and a bit unkempt. This suggests the egg(s) hatched between May 3rd and May 14th. I will be by again this Sunday. NOTE: With our estimated incubation of April 1, this time frame appears accurate for hatching. We will record hatching as the 8th, which is the midpoint. | ||||||
