| Note: | Mollie K reports: 3/2/26 Male (Branch) flew into next and hung out for a few moments. The female (Mossy) was spotted in the nest but could only really see her feathers being blown in the wind. Repositioned around the nest and spotted Mossy low in the nest. It looked almost as if she was in an incubation position. This would be very early for my two. I checked the first 2 weeks of February and saw nothing- but I guess they came back a little early and got to work. I will keep you posted. NOTE: We will watch to confirm incubation. | ||||||

OspreyWatch is managed by The Center for Conservation Biology. The project was developed in an attempt to bring together a global community of observers to collect information for the common good. The project is unfunded and, as such, has been created and managed by unpaid staff and volunteers. Please help support the dedicated individuals who maintain the project.
