The male continues to be the only one on the nest since a few hours prior to the bald eagle yesterday. He has done some nest building today, however the female still has not returned to the nest! It's been over 24 hrs. The male continues to sit on the nest, except to bring back food or sticks.. | ||||||

| Note: | 5/8/24 (12:30-1:15 pm) Warm, sunny, no wind. Sticks on platform. Two Ospreys were perched on the side of the platform. After 15 minutes, one Osprey flew off. The other Osprey nestled in the center of the nest. I could not see if there were eggs or young in the nest. The first Osprey did not return while I was observing. (dlm) | ||||||

| May 14 | 8620 | CBEC | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | We are surmising with the heavy spring rain, the migration and nesting were delayed. We have seen 1 osprey on the Platform (5/8). | ||||||
| May 14 | 9431 | CBEC | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | The Osprey prevailed and routed the Duck off the platform and have now occupied it! The "squatter" duck had been there for nearly a month. Because of the stubborn duck, the Osprey built a next on a pilon at the end of a nearby pier. It was extremely unlikely that "nest" would be a reliable home. We were skeptical, but are happy the Osprey prevailed and took the platform back! | ||||||
| May 17 | 8612 | CBEC | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Last checked the nest on May 11 around 2pm and there was a Canada goose settled in on the platform again. Looks like this is home for them this season. | ||||||

| Note: | 5/21/24 - 1pm Two Ospreys were perched on the platform next to the nest. Several kayakers paddled by and the Ospreys squawked repeatedly to them. I could not see if there were any young in the nest. The parents were quite upset. (dlm) | ||||||
| May 28 | 9424 | CBEC | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | It appears this nest will not be used this year. It was build by ospreys 3 yrs ago, this is the first year it is not occupied. | ||||||
| May 29 | 8615 | CBEC | 2 | U | U | ||
| Note: | 5/28/24 (2pm): Nest seems have sustained damage from yesterday's storm. However, there was still some nesting material present. One Osprey was nestled down in what remained of the nest. I could not see if there were any young in the nest but I expect there should be soon given that an Osprey has been laying on the nest for at least one week and appears to be laying more upright.

| Note: | 6/11/24 (2:30 pm) Observed one Osprey on nest. I did not see young. However, mature Osprey's head was moving up and down as if it was feeding young. No other Ospreys were around in the 30 minutes that I was observing. (dlm) | ||||||
| July 5 | 8612 | CBEC | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Although 2 ospreys were observed on the platform early in the cycle (March 2024) no nest materialized. The platform was occupied by a Canada Goose which was sited on the platform everyday for a complete incubation period. The ospreys did not return to the platform as of July 06, 2024/ | ||||||
| July 5 | 8615 | CBEC | 2 | Y | U | incubation, feeding | |
| Note: | July 03, 2024. 7:40 am. Sunny 67 degrees. Female was observed feeding young. It was difficult to see if 2 or 3 young were present (will check with scope later). No male was present, but on July 01, 2024 it was observed that the male flew to the platform with a fish, and the female started feeding young immediately. The nest is not deep, but distant from the observation point; and, young are big enough to be seen above the nest perimeter. jw | ||||||

| July 5 | 9424 | CBEC | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | The adult birds did not return to this nest in 2024. The nest was intact/tree sturdy and the birds were successful in rearing young in 2023. As of July 05, 2024, no bird activity around this nest. | ||||||
| July 5 | 9424 | CBEC | 2 | Y | 2 | incubation, feeding | |

| July 6 | 8619 | CBEC | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | There was no activity on 7/2/2024 when I checked the nest. The week prior there were 1 or 2 osprey flying in the area. 2 weeks prior, 2 adults flew in and sat on the 2 posts by the stone jetty where I had seen the nesting adults sitting. they talked to each other and traded posts at one point. They did not go to the nest. 3 weeks prior, one osprey flying in the area but no one on the nest. | ||||||
| July 11 | 8615 | CBEC | 1 | U | 2 | young standing | |
| Note: | 7/10/24- 1:30 pm. Sunny and 92 degrees with a mild breeze. One adult was on the platform with 2 (possibly 3) juveniles. After 10 minutes of my observing, the adult flew off. It did not return while I was still observing (15 minutes longer). Juveniles had brown and while feathers. (dlm) | ||||||
| July 16 | 8615 | CBEC | 1 | U | 2 | young standing | |
| Note: | 7/16/24- 2:30 pm. Sunny and 93 degrees with a mild breeze. One adult was on the platform with 2 (possibly 3) juveniles. (dlm) | ||||||
