| Note: | 8:00 - 8:05 a.m. When I pulled over on the grassy strip well off the shoulder of interstate 80, I saw that this nest had an adult standing on a post next to the nest. It flew off at 8:03a.m. I didn't see where it went and didn't see any other ospreys. | ||||||

| Note: | 9:55 a.m. From the shoulder of interstate 80 I saw no ospreys. The nest appears to be collapsing down onto the platform from up on top of the posts where it has always been. I will check it from the access road off of Mt Hermon Rd. later in the day. | ||||||

| Note: | 10:40-10:55 a.m. I could see no sign of ospreys from the grassy access road. This "road" is no more than an upgrown, grassy path that is still blocked by a downed tree by the entrance from Mt Hermon Rd. It doesn't look as though it has been used much by even ATVs. When I first arrived, an adult was flying above and around the nest tower. It did a touch and go on the tower, but I couldn't get a photo because it was gone so quickly. From this vantage point the nest looks like it has collapsed down toward the top platform. This has been a very productive nest in the past. I wonder if one of the adults in the mated pair has been "lost". | ||||||
