| Note: | 90 minute observation. Two adults. Windy, birds facing into wind. One bird took six trips bringing back sticks. The second bird seemed to arrange said sticks. It seemed like they were concentrating on building up the nest mostly on the left side. We watched the bird fly right near us and snapped off a small dead branch on a pine tree. We are not certain but one of the trips the bird may have brought back food. No evidence of sitting on eggs. Our observation time was roughly 10AM to 11AM. SY&KS | ||||||

The female returned with a stick and placed it in platform and flew away. She soon returned with another stick and worked it into the nest. She then stood in the middle of the nest and nestled into the sticks. We observed for 45 minutes. GR&PP | ||||||

| Note: | Clear skies. 67degree. Slight breeze. Two adults standing upright in nest. In ten minutes, male left & returned 5 minutes later with a tiny stick, perhaps 5 inches. Returning, male flew high in direction of nest. As he grew closer, he dipped until reaching the water's surface; then rose to alight on nest. Female placed stick on left side of platform and seemingly bent over platform edge for a few minutes. Then couple stayed side by side for approx. 1/2 hour. Male left again, soaring above tree canopy but disappeared. Eagle was spotted resting near osprey's path and may have frightened osprey from returning. He wasn't seen for 1/2 hour. Eagle left and osprey returned empty handed. Other birds in area included about 8 black vultures overhead, Great Blue Heron soaring past, pair of buffleheads feeding in water, nonbreeding red-winged blackbird resting in tree, other red-winged blackbirds flying around.

| April 27 | 9424 | CBEC | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | (TB) Cool morning, lots of birds in the area. Nest looks sparce. Visited yesterday as well but it was cold and about to rain. Today I was able to see the Osprey and it was seated on a branch above the nest for a while. It was there when I arrived - I could see if from the road and I stayed about 30 minutes, and it was still there. When I left CBEC around 1.5 hours later the Osprey was gone. I did a sound check in the area to see if an eagle was nearby, but none came up. | ||||||

| Note: | The male left the nest twice in 90 minutes. The female left once right after the male for his second trip away. She returned after a few minutes. We watched a midair confrontation with two eagles and the (presumed) male osprey. When he got back to the nest he didn't leave again while we were there. We did not see him bring any nesting material or any food to the nest. We don't think they are nesting. The stance is the same and both birds stay on the left side of the platform as noted before.

| Note: | 68 degrees. Sunny. Light breeze. On arrival, nest empty. Osprey arrived 1/2 hr later. At that time, 3 eagles circled overhead but at a distance of about 1/2 mile. One eagle landed/perched on branch of dead tree about 1/4 mi away as seen in previous viewing. After 1/2 hr, osprey left but returned 1/2 hr later & stayed in place sitting upright, preening some. No interest in nest activity. Perched eagle left branch & circled w/ 2 other eagles, the first seemingly chasing the 2 away. The first returned to perch while the two flew from area. Meanwhile, osprey remained on nest. KS & SY | ||||||

| Note: | Cloudy day. Some Rain. 60's. One osprey visits the platform periodically during the day. This morning there were two sitting together for about 15 minutes and I saw a third osprey swoop in as they approached the platform. I saw something similar yesterdaywhen the were three osprey apparently vying for prominence and then one left and two remained on the platform. There is no indication of nest building. | ||||||

| Note: | When we arrived the nest was vacant. Both birds came back about a minute apart about 30 minutes after we arrived. 30 minutes later bird #1 leaves. An eagle in a snag about 1/4 mile away looked like he/she was going to divebomb MC3. Bird #2 pursued the eagle obviously protecting the nest. The eagle retreated back to the far away snag and Bird #2 returned to the nest. Bird #1 shortly thereafter returned to the nest. Sticks and nesting materials seemed to be higher on the right side of the nest, different from the last observation. The birds do not lie down but stand when they are on the platform and there is no nesting behavior. SY&KS | ||||||
