| Note: | This very visible and productive nest looked maintained, but I saw no ospreys today. | ||||||
| May 12 | CyclistBarb | 1 | U | N | incubation |
|
|
| Note: | One adult was sitting low on the nest apparently incubating. I could only see the top of its head. It stood and appeared to roll eggs then sat back down and was completely hidden. | ||||||

| Note: | It was very hot in the sun today. I saw at least two, possibly three chicks being shaded by the mother. | ||||||

| Note: | While the male was in the nest watching, the female fed the two chicks. | ||||||
| July 1 | CyclistBarb | 1 | U | 2 | young laying down |

| Note: | Female had her wings spread wide, shading the chicks from the 100-degree heat and sun! | ||||||
| July 16 | CyclistBarb | 0 | N | 2 | young standing | ||
| Note: | A woman from this dead-end road where I park to observe stopped to ask what I was doing. I explained and told her another neighbor had stopped last time I was there and said she would post it on the neighborhood Facebook page. The two chicks are large, showing scalloped plumage. | ||||||
