| Note: | Jim H reports: Nest 2653 Since April 1, there has been an occasional single osprey on a branch near the nest. Today April 22nd, there is a single bird standing there. Probably a male (light chest). I have not observed any activity in the nest nor any food deliveries to the nest. I cannot see into the nest even with binoculars. There are droppings on the street below the nest. | ||||||

| Note: | The nest is in a pine tree that the property owner wants to remove because of damage to his driveway, To do this a town permit can only be issued when the nest is inactive. For this reason, Joanne V met with the property owner to assess the nest and to see if there was a suitable nearby pine in which to place a platform. It was determined that there is no good spot in the vicinity for a platform. The community will require the home owner to replace the pine with an oak, not another pine. It is unclear if incubation is underway. Initial reports indicate possible incubation about 3/31 but it has not been confirmed. There are osprey around the nest but there has been no further observation of Mom in the nest incubating. We will continue to monitor the nest, and if there are no clear signs that the nest indeed has incubation/chicks the owner will apply for a permit after Memorial Day. Even once the permit is issued, it will take some time before it is removed. If there is conclusive incubation prior to Memorial Day, the home owner will have to wait until the end of the nesting season. | ||||||
| May 1 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | Y | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Jim H reports: Over the last 4 days we have seen an osprey fly off the nest. Again today an osprey was seen perched low on the nest. NOTE: Based on this update we are tentatively listing incubation as having begun on 5/1 | ||||||
| May 25 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | Y | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Jim H reports: We have had a team of 3 watching daily. Osprey have been observed near and even on the nest on multiple occasions. I watched Mon to Thursday this week and saw a single osprey in the tree on Monday , Tuesday and Wednesday mornings but not often later in the day. On Thursday I was told that there was an osprey on the nest around 6 am. I went to observe the nest around 7 am. There was an osprey on the nest which flew from the nest with nesting material in its talons. We have not been able to actually see an osprey down in the nest. We should know if anything is actually going to result in the next couple of weeks. NOTE: Reports of an osprey ON the nest lead us to think it may be incubating. | ||||||
| June 22 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Jim H reports: After watching this nest all spring, we have concluded that there is no activity in the nest. The pair of osprey like to “hang out” near the nest. However, they have been unsuccessful in producing young. NOTE: We will indicate this nest was non-productive for the season. The possible incubation recorded was probably incorrect, because by now there would have been definite signs of hatching/feeding. | ||||||
