| Date | Watcher | Adults | Eggs | Young | Observations | Photo | Edit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| March 18 | baygirl | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Pair on nest, copulation attempted | ||||||
| April 8 | baygirl | 2 | 1 | N | |||
| Note: | Egg laid , left uncovered for hour | ||||||
| April 10 | baygirl | 2 | 1 | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Female incubating single egg, male delivers large white plastic bag, it is over the egg at some points as female wrestles with it, super dangerous to have it over the egg for incubating , hopefully it blows off nest soon | ||||||
| April 11 | baygirl | 1 | 2 | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | second egg visible around midnight, not sure when it was laid, both eggs are being incubated on the plastic bag and there will be rain for the next 24 hrs, hoping eggs do not drown or become chilled | ||||||
| April 11 | baygirl | 1 | 2 | N | |||
| Note: | 9 pm, Female gets off eggs in heavy rain, flies to nest perch, which she does at night, but eggs are rained on and uncovered until 9:55 pm when the plastic bag blew over the 2 eggs, covering them completely, will be interesting to see how this plays out this season , this is the new females second season to incubate, she did not tend well to 2 of 3 eggs in 2024 and fledged just 1. | ||||||
| April 13 | baygirl | 1 | 3 | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | 3rd egg confirmed at 7:45 pm | ||||||
| May 17 | baygirl | 2 | 3 | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | Pip watch | ||||||
| May 18 | baygirl | 2 | 3 | N | incubation | ||
| Note: | 8:29, , male brings whole fish to female, switch out on inc | ||||||
| May 19 | baygirl | 2 | 1 | 2 | young laying down | ||
| Note: | First hatch approx 23:30 5-18, second hatch approx 6:10 this morning , nice to have so close in age, interesting nesting to observe hatch dates as first egg was delayed inc plus was exposed to rain and was under plastic for one night | ||||||
| May 20 | baygirl | 2 | N | 3 | young laying down | ||
| Note: | 3d egg hatch just before midnight per nest cam, somewhat surprising since first egg was left uncovered in rain off and on, and2 of the eggs were incubated on and under a plastic bag for 1 day, osprey eggs are tough! | ||||||
| May 31 | baygirl | 2 | N | 2 | feeding, young laying down | ||
| Note: | youngest chick died this morning, buried in left side of nest bowl, oldest aggressive towards middle chick, not enough fish deliveries | ||||||
