The platform lost all nest material over the winter, in addition a new platform was placed, without a permit much too close to this platform. To add to the future drama, another platform nearby, Channel Marker 9, fell during the icing, so this will be an interesting colony to watch. | ||||||

| Note: | Both have arrived now and are perching on the partially submerged downed channel marker pole, ( no platform remains) then they tussled with a few other ospreys in the colony and eventually one flew to the empty platform across the creek, #622. I’m hoping the6 claim that platform since no ospreys have yet claimed it. However, at sunset both flew NW towards the woods where they often perch during non nesting phases | ||||||

| Note: | Canada goose nesting , fyi: CANG are not native but have become nuisance residents, this is not a good sign, once CANG take an osprey nest they will often return to take the platform in years to come, they will learn to take other osprey platforms . They incubate up to 32 days causing possibly late nesting of our resident ospreys. Ospreys that nest late in the season create negative impacts on any young they produce. Cang should be deterred from nesting on osprey nest structures , interesting that the nest cam feed has been restored to the general public | ||||||

With permission from DNREC and State Parks, our team assessed the nest and saw no eggs, so we proceeded to use a come-along and straightened the platform. We reinforced the corner boards, T perch and predator guard and added a ground board collar to hopefully stabilize the pole for future storms. We also dropped a 2x4 marsh perch nearby for the male. The birds returned before we left the island. There was some nest cup material so I will expect to see incubation soon | ||||||

| Note: | Platform appears empty of nest material, likely that the resident BAEA will not allow nesting here or at NG 3 | ||||||
| April 16 | 6227 | baygirl | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Male does not use their original nest box very much, rarely now he uses it to guard, this is unfortunate for the Bethany Marina community who placed the original platform years ago. This should not have been allowed by Army Corp/DNREC. Indiscriminate placement of poorly designed nest platform with out the required permit does not benefit the species. Female is very high on the nest with no nest rails. Hopefully her eggs and chicks will survive on this nest box. | ||||||
