Note: Most consistent 2 birds at nest, copulation attempt, then interloping male returned and challenges continue, some contact seen, second male has pure white chest, first male is busy defending and female gets out of the way, second female not seen today thus far , exciting time!
April 20 4463 baygirl 2 N N
Note: Male brings in first stick with pine cones!
April 20 4463 baygirl 2 N N
Note: Male has started to bring in pine branches and just now 10:05 he brought a large headless fish for the female. She took it away to eat, was back at 10:30. More copulation attempts. Intruder has not returned. I’m calling this a bonded pair.

April 21 4463 baygirl 2 N N
Note: first fish delivery this morning the male didn’t actually deliver, he ate himself while female asked for it, hr later he delivered a partial fish for female , some tussling with interloper lots of attempted copulation, 1 piece of fluff delivered , second partial fish delivered to female at 2:19. Very little nest material has been brought by male, I will guess he is a first time “ mate” and expect a rough season for this pair, hope to be pleasantly surprised! This site may be a huge challenge for a new inexperienced pair. The location is challenging due to proximity for park visitors and all day maintenance vehicles,. The site is very loud in general due to the pharmaceutical factory next door. For new osprey observers this nest cam location and osprey behavior is a master class.

April 22 6002 baygirl 2 N N
Note: pair on nest, female on T perch, she does not have a rt leg silver band so she is a new female as of either last season or this season
April 22 6181 baygirl 2 U N incubation
Note: Observed switch out on eggs
April 23 8012 baygirl 2 N N

April 27 6007 baygirl 2 U N
Note: My options on check nest limit what I’m seeing , how can I know if there are eggs as I’m not permitted to approach a nest, however both ospreys on nest today, one was either eating or feeding a nestling, vantage point was not ideal, still need to confirm if nesting failed or perhaps nestlings though it’s quite early…
April 28 6335 baygirl 1 U N incubation
Note: One osprey deep in nest
April 28 6402 baygirl 2 U N incubation
Note: Male and female switched out incubation duties
April 29 6235 baygirl 2 N N
Note: No signs of incubation, some human disturbance as there’s a float dock that washed up in the marsh last year, it’s very close to the platform, and was not removed so now part of the landscape, it attracts people to stand on it to look at ospreys and they are not settling down, same issue last year, caused very late nesting with female abandoning chick at 4 weeks, it did not survive
April 29 7061 baygirl 2 N N

May 4 4463 baygirl 2 1 N incubation
Note: First egg laid approx 5:52 pm this evening , not much nest material has been added since we placed starter nest material, and very sparse nest bowl, I believe male is inexperienced. This could be a wild ride!
May 5 4463 baygirl 2 1 N incubation
Note: Male discovers egg for first time, tries to cover it a few times, eventually attempts to incubate
May 5 4463 baygirl 2 1 N incubation
Note: Make brought first fish of the day at 5:25 this evening, male has not provided much nest material or fish and seems confused by the egg although he has attempted to incubate today
May 5 4463 baygirl 1 1 N incubation
Note: Male has not brought fish , female has been calling, she is incubating this first egg
May 6 4463 baygirl 2 1 N incubation
Note: 10:38 the male brought in small portion of fish and the interloping female that was on nest numerous times, followed the male to nest and remained on nest off and on today, eventually tussling with brooding female, egg was kicked into outer nest material but retrieved at 11:45, egg left unattended for 2 hrs while the pair fought with interloper and perhaps others
May 6 4463 baygirl 2 1 N incubation
Note: Things have quieted down , male has incubated and brought in whole fish at 4 pm
May 6 4463 baygirl 2 1 N incubation
Note: Notes from today, interloping female stood over the egg and postured as if she would brood, but she of course did not, have never before seen a female permitted to do that, I believe the female on nest was so hungry and was eating so she ignored the interloper, male did not discourage, later the female charged the interloper and fighting ensued for hours, I am surprised egg not damaged
May 7 4463 baygirl 2 2 N incubation
Note: Second egg laid approx 1:13 pm , 2 fish deliveries thus far today, male has been incubating, much calmer at nest today, so far…
May 7 8140 baygirl 2 U N incubation

May 15 9798 baygirl 2 3 N incubation
Note: Male finally returned and brought partial fish, immediately started brooding, left again at 10:49, hopefully will bring a fish, this could be a polygyny male, his behavior past 2 years is suspect, or he is just a poor provider

May 16 6784 baygirl 2 U N incubation
