| Note: | Just 1 hunkered down in nest during heavy rain, will hope to see the senior banded male this season , this platform is now close to a new community dock built long after this nest was built, and there’s dogs and human activity too close for the ospreys comfort, ironically the new community name is Osprey Watch. | ||||||

| Note: | Just saw second bird lower in his fave tree due to heavy rain, can not see band but hopeful! | ||||||

| Note: | Appears to be a female visiting nest in high wind, darker necklace than the male from prior visits but similar head marking..? She didn’t linger long | ||||||
| April 16 | 4463 | baygirl | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Same female osprey as yesterday, in nest for an hour, she flew up towards another bird a few times but only a shadow is seen, could be another osprey or could be vulture, but she was calling to others | ||||||

| April 17 | 4463 | baygirl | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Same male and female today, very early copulation was rebuffed then male gone for hours, second female has been tussling with prior female, at 1:15 the male attempted copulation of original female and was accepted, lots of heavy equipment noise in addition to the pharma factory next door, the equipment activity is flushing the female, so fr no nest material brought to nest and no fish gifting but the pair looks promising, this may be a young inexperienced male | ||||||
