| April 18 | Hillary1776 | 2 | N | N |
|
||
| Note: | Both male and female present on nest. Whenever other osprey flew too near, they vocalized. | ||||||
| May 3 | Hillary1776 | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | No birds observed at the nest | ||||||
| May 14 | Randi V. | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Lots of songbird activity, no signs of osprey. Lots of plastic debris | ||||||
| May 25 | Hillary1776 | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Saw one adult on the nest hunkered down in the nest bowl, barely visible, save for the head. Presume it was the female on egg(s) however it is not possible to see into the nest to determine if there are eggs, so I flagged that question as No. | ||||||
| June 6 | Hillary1776 | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Saw one bird mainly hunkered down in the nest bowl. it vocalized a few times but never was visible enough to determine male or female. Presume there are eggs or very young birds in the nest. | ||||||
| June 7 | Hillary1776 | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Please disregard the earlier next check. I was not logged-in and now cannot delete it. This morning the male was at the nest, perched on the wooden arm with a half-eaten bunker. The female was in the nest bowl, with only her head visible. Still unclear if there are actually eggs or young, but I think it is highly likely there is at least one. | ||||||

| Note: | This morning the male was at the nest, perched on the wooden arm with a half-eater bunker. The female was in the nest bowl, with only her head visible. Still unclear if there are actually eggs or young, but I think it is highly likely there is at least one. | ||||||
| June 19 | Hillary1776 | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | When I arrived the female was on a perch adjacent to the nest. She vocalized and opened her wings each time a pedestrian got close under the nest (it is above a public sidewalk in a populated area). I could not see any small heads from within the nest bowl. After a period of time she took off from the perch and then the male arrived with a partially-eaten bunker and followed her. They were both vocalizing. They spotted an adult Bald Eagle and were mobbing it along with a crow. After the eagle was chased she went back to the nest and the male went to a nearby tree with the partial fish. He did not make any moves to give her the fish so I was unable to see any potential feeding of young behavior. It is still unknown if there are young at the nest. | ||||||
| June 20 | Hillary1776 | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Female was on the nest. Vocalized the entire time I was there looking with my binoculars, even when I stood under a tree 30 to 40 feet away. If I moved or changed sides, she would follow me, looking intently. | ||||||
| June 21 | Hillary1776 | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Female was in the nest bowl and vocalizing. I found the male perched in a nearby tree. I still haven't seen any small heads indicating young, but the female has consistently been at the nest and exhibiting territorial behavior even when I stand far away and under a tree for cover. I am hopeful there is at least one young bird in the nest. | ||||||
| July 2 | Hillary1776 | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Female on perch by nest. Was agitated when I got out of the car. Did not see male in roost trees. Did not see any small heads denoting young birds. Because was so agitated, I did not stay long. | ||||||
| July 3 | Hillary1776 | 1 | N | 1 | young standing | ||
| Note: | It was extremely hot. The female and young bird were both panting and one was making a noise, not an alarm call. Female was opening her wings to shade the one juvenile, which was bigger than I expected. I would say about the same size as the two from last year at this time. I am surprised this was the first time I saw the juvenile, given its size. I did not see the male. | ||||||
| July 5 | Hillary1776 | 2 | N | 1 | young standing |
|
|
| Note: | The osprey family made it through several days of intense heat and back-to-back nights of storms. All 3 were at the nest when I checked it. I no longer stay long as the female gets very agitated when I am there. She was not this way last summer. | ||||||
| July 11 | Hillary1776 | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Was able to spend extra time at this nest today. At arrival the female was on the arm of the nest and vocalized when she saw me. The male arrived soon with a small-ish bunker. He perched on a nearby telephone pole and ate the fish while she called frequently. He never shared any of the fish. They both vocalized when other osprey flew too near the nest. I did not see the chick this time but suspect it is still there and just deeper in the nest bowl, based on the female's territorial behavior and the fact that she stayed by the nest and called out to the male for fish. But because I did not see the chick, I marked the presence of young as "no". | ||||||
| July 11 | Hillary1776 | 0 | N | N | |||
| Note: | After not seeing the chick earlier in the day, I returned in the early evening. Both adults were gone and I did not see the chick. | ||||||
| July 12 | Hillary1776 | 1 | N | 1 | young laying down | ||
| Note: | Female was on the nest and I believe I caught a glimpse of the chick based on the more golden tinged feathers I observed. It never stood up so I was not 100% sure if it was the chick or the female. | ||||||
| July 12 | Hillary1776 | 2 | N | 1 | feeding, young standing | ||
| Note: | Female was on the nest. Male was perched on the arm of the nest. The male soon took off and I was able to view the female feeding the chick! | ||||||
| July 18 | Hillary1776 | 1 | N | 1 | young standing | ||
| Note: | Female was on post adjacent to nest. After awhile of observation, the young bird popped up and was preening itself. Some osprey flew close to the nest, the female alarm-called and the chick dropped down out of view. | ||||||
| July 19 | Hillary1776 | 1 | N | 1 | young standing | ||
| Note: | Female was on perch adjacent to nest. Eventually, I saw the chick stretching its wings. At one point it raised its rear and excreted out of the nest. | ||||||
| July 20 | Hillary1776 | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Female was on nest. The young bird was not in sight. | ||||||
| July 20 | Hillary1776 | 0 | N | 1 | feeding, young standing |
|
|
| Note: | Both adults were not present. They young bird was stretching its wings, hopping and flapping in the nest. Then it put its head down and it was clear it was feeding itself. | ||||||

| July 26 | Hillary1776 | 1 | N | 1 | feeding, young standing |
|
|
| Note: | Young and female were on the nest. The young bird was sitting up on the edge of the nest and looked like it had a relatively full crop. It looked like it occasionally was bending down and taking a bite of something. | ||||||
| August 2 | BKbird | 1 | N | 1 | young standing | ||
| Note: | FLEDGED. Young was on a telephone pole near nest and watched him fly to train station and back. | ||||||
