Description
St Johns Place, Shipyard approx 1500' from the old nest that was blow down. It is on private property so close observation will be hard 2/28/2020 When I first spotted the pair 2 weeks ago I assumed they would begin a rebuild of their badly damaged nest - this has not occurred - I see at least one of the pair still in the neighborhood but I cannot find their new nest if there is one - pretty sad about this - I'm not sure where they are - last time their nest was destroyed they rebuilt across the street - I'll keep searching FOUND THEM!! 3/19 the pair has built a new nest - in St Johns Place approx 1500' from the old nest that was blow down last fall

| Note: | Joanne V reports: This nest is in tact, but could use some sprucing up. No sign yet of either of the pair returning to the nest. Last year it wasn’t until March, but some years it was February. | ||||||
| February 3 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Joanne V reports there is still no activity as yet | ||||||
| February 14 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N |
|
||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: no activity yet, although many osprey are flying about (4 nests in the area, so unclear which nests these osprey use). It was observed that one of the branches on which PO typically likes to sit has been broken off. But I’m sure he’ll find another. | ||||||
| February 23 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | MAT reports: No activity | ||||||
| March 5 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: still no activity. A couple of adult ospreys were observed flying about not too far from the nesting tree, but there are 3 other nests within a mile radius so it’s impossible to know if either of those were MO or PO. I will check again in a few days. | ||||||

|
||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: As I was approaching the nest, I saw 2 ospreys flying about near the tree. One (MO) flew in and began chirping away. After about 10 minutes, while standing near the nest, I could hear another osprey chirping in the distance. Then I spotted PO who was flying into the nest with a fish in his talons. I waited about another 10 minutes and both remained in the nest. | ||||||
| March 12 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | U | N | |||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: MO was deep down in the nest, but loudly chirping away. Given this is typical for her in years past when she is sitting on eggs, and given my observation that both have been together in the nest, I’m using today’s date to record incubation initiation. | ||||||
| March 15 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N |
|
||
| Note: | Joanne V reports; As I walked up to the nest, PO flew into the nest with what looked like a fish. Unfortunately, I didn’t have my camera out yet. It was assumed that MO was deep down in the nest with eggs. I waited only about 15 minutes and was only able to get a photo of PO’s back end in the nest. | ||||||
| March 19 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N |
|
||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: As I walked toward the nesting tree, I saw whom I believed was PO flying about. Within seconds after reaching the nest, PO flew into the nest. As I looked down to check the camera image, he was no longer visible in the nest. I walked around the other side to get a different view, and I saw MO and snapped a photo (included). I still believe incubation is in process, but will continue to assess that and update activity. | ||||||
