First off, I have a FB and website for these ospreys: https://www.facebook.com/TheScogginsOspreys and http://www.thescogginsandbealwetlandospreys.weebly.com The Scoggins ospreys nest in a 90 to 100 foot cottonwood on the bank of Scoggins Creek. The nest is about two to three feet across, and a foot and a half deep. Nest started around March 31st, 2013. The Scoggins pair didn't start out in the nest that they are in now. In 2012 Hog and Dash(The pair) nested across the road in a large stag.

It was in June or July of 2012 when we began watching the pair a bit. They successfully raised two chicks to fledging, S1 and S2. After the ospreys left for migration, the nest fell in a windstorm. We tried climbing up the bank to look for remains of the nest, but the blackberry bushes proved a bit to prickly for a thorough search! In March 2013 the pair returned. We drove out to the lake and saw them perched at the Old Nest Tree. Dash was perched a couple feet from the top of the tree, chirping and chirping. Hog was balanced on the tip. He came and went a few times, trying to drop sticks onto a nest that was not there. They stayed at the Old Nest Tree at least three days before starting to rebuild in the cottonwood they nest in now. In the 2013 season Hog and Dash successfully raised two chicks to fledging, S3 and S4.
