| April 18 | CyclistBarb | 2 | N | N |
|
||
| Note: | As I parked and set up my scope and camera I saw on adult (which turned out to be the female) sitting on the nest. The mate flew off the nest and was flying around circling slightly above the tower until it flew off and disappeared. | ||||||
| May 5 | CyclistBarb | 1 | N | N |
|
||
| Note: | One adult was on the nest, but I could not tell if it was the male or the female. | ||||||
| May 19 | CyclistBarb | 2 | U | N |
|
||
| Note: | One was sitting low on eggs; I believe it was the female. The mate flew to the nest, fussed around, then flew off again. I did not notice if it came in with a fish as this nest is so far away. The female sat back down low again. | ||||||
| June 17 | CyclistBarb | 1 | U | 1 | young laying down |
|
|
| Note: | This nest is so far away, and the lighting was not good. I saw one chick although there could be more than one. | ||||||
| July 1 | CyclistBarb | 2 | U | 2 | young laying down |
|
|
| Note: | Just as I arrived an adult flew off the nest; by the time I set up my scope, an adult had flown back to the nest. I could not tell if it was the same adult or the mate. I saw two chicks for sure, but in the video, it appears that there are three chicks. | ||||||
| July 26 | CyclistBarb | 0 | N | 3 | young standing |
|
|
| Note: | These big chicks looked about ready to fledge. | ||||||
