June 29 ospreychick 1 N N
Note: I biked over to the cranberry bog and stood almost under the nest. The day before I couldn't see the nest from my kayak so I was worried that something had happened to it. The female was in the nest and was not happy to have me so close. She chirped loudly but then after about 5 minutes she flew off the nest. No chicks were visible.
July 14 ospreychick 1 N N
Note: There is always alot of chirping going on at this nest. Today I went into the bog so I was closser than usual becaue I hadn't been able to spot the nest from the Riverside a couple of days before. The adult wasn't glad to see me and chirped loudly but flew off next. I'm not sure if there are chicks in this nest or not..
