| Note: | One adult was perched on the top of the cell tower, opposite the nest. The nest looks to be in good shape. I couldn't see any brown on the breast of the osprey so assume it was the male. | ||||||
| May 5 | CyclistBarb | 1 | N | N |
|
||
| Note: | One adult was perched on one of the posts. From the shoulder of westbound route 80 I could not tell if it was the male or the female. | ||||||
| June 17 | CyclistBarb | 0 | N | N |
|
||
| Note: | I stopped to view along the shoulder of route 80 but could see no osprey on this well-maintained nest. I did not approach from the other side via the private, upgrown driveway to the cell tower. At this point I can't confirm that there were ospreys nesting in the previously active tower nest. | ||||||
| July 26 | CyclistBarb | 0 | N | 2 | young standing |

|
| Note: | The fallen tree which was blocking the entrance to the field, had been removed. I could only see one from the route 80 pull-over, but saw two chicks from the field off Mt Hermon Rd. One was sitting on the nest, the other was on a post on the tower (photo). | ||||||
