| Note: | Sandra P reports: Stopped by today and with binoculars, one Osprey (Oprah) sitting in nest. | ||||||
| March 12 | 8813 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Nest has had osprey around the nests over the last few days. On some occasions, there are single ospreys and/or a pair of ospreys. However, actual nesting does not seem to have occurred yet. | ||||||
| March 12 | 5395 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: MO was sitting in her nest and for a moment, I thought incubation may have begun, but then she flew out of the nest, so it’s clear this pair has not produced eggs as yet. | ||||||
| March 12 | 2653 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Had osprey around the nests over the last few days. On some occasions, there are single ospreys and/or a pair of ospreys. However, actual nesting does not seem to have occurred yet. January 28th - I can confirm that the nest is still present as we go into nesting season. | ||||||
| March 13 | 9270 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Male perched on branch near nest. Female in the nest. Looks as if she may be laying low in nest (on eggs). Female chirping in nest. Seems to have adjusted herself in the nest. | ||||||
| March 16 | 9248 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | They're back! The nest is active! I saw a pair of adults in it this morning. It appears that they have rebuilt the nest to its full size. I am unable to get a good close up photo with my phone, but I am investigating telephoto lenses so that I can get photos for you. I was able to see both beautiful birds with my binoculars, big as you please. January 23rd - I just checked and the nest appears to be about half there. It's in a safe position, snuggled between 2 spotlights, so I'm hoping they will come back to rebuild the rest. No activity that I could see. | ||||||
| March 17 | 9089 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | The first I heard and saw them. I’m excited that my couple is back! They were late nesters last year as well! | ||||||
| March 18 | 9270 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | male perched right next to nest with a watchful eye. Female laying low in nest. She was making soft chirping noises this morning. | ||||||
| March 18 | 7763 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Within the past week the Osprey went from being on a branch above the nest to now clearly sitting in the nest. Spotted in the nest twice in the last week including today. March 10th - Golfed there Thursday with two friends. We all heard an Osprey calling out from the tree the nest was in. I did not see it but it was definitely in the tree or the nest. Will go back with my binoculars. February 26th - Nest still there. No birds yet. February 2nd - Nest still in the tree. I am confident they will return but will probably be building it up. January 17th – I will monitor this nest from last year in Moss Creek. I will also be on the lookout for new ones. One of my nests was successful three years in a row. I have all my friends helping me too looking for a new Osprey Activity. | ||||||

| March 19 | 9137 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Tally is here year round!!! He flies around the lake (my back yard). At times he will be in a tall pine in my yard and it is so neat watching him dive bomb into the lake for a fish! Pinely arrives in February. | ||||||
| March 20 | 8739 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||

| March 26 | 2518 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | During today’s visit, an osprey was observed sitting in the nest. March 26th - Today I observed an osprey flying out of the nest. March 20th - Today I observed an osprey sitting in the nest. A second osprey carrying a fish in its talons flew into the nest. Both ospreys stayed in the nest for the remainder of the observation. March 16th - Visited the nest yesterday and observed an osprey sitting on the nest. March 8th - During today’s visit an osprey was observed flying into the nest. February 28th - I visited the nest yesterday, and the nest is complete, but no ospreys were observed. It was extremely windy during the visit. February 22nd - Today I observed a complete nest on the platform at the top of the tower. There was a single adult osprey sitting in the nest. February 15th - Today I observed an osprey flying around and landing at the top of the tower. No nesting material was observed, but it’s still early. Will continue weekly observations. February 12th - Visited the nest location again today, and there are still no signs of nest material or ospreys. Will visit again next week. February 9th – I checked the nest yesterday, and thus far there is no apparent activity. There appears to be some nesting material on the platform, but no osprey were observed. | ||||||

| March 29 | 9059 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| March 29 | 8937 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Debbie B: Nest 8937 has Lovey sitting or attending the nest constantly at this point. The nest had to be totally reconstructed this season and she is sitting a lot higher from the last couple years so it is hard to tell on a drive by if she is sitting or standing. She is still accepting branches from Davis to add to the nest. | ||||||
| March 31 | 4175 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Sue F: Only 1 bird spotted today | ||||||
| March 31 | 7858 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Kathy A: I believe the ospreys at nest 7858 have started incubation. When I arrived one osprey was lying down in the nest with only her head and tail feathers visible. She stayed that way the entire time - I did not see her mate. /Users/molliekinard/Downloads/7858 3.31.24 Incubation.jpg | ||||||
| March 31 | 9117 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Kathy B: At nest 9117, the female was sitting in the nest most of the day - I did not see her mate there but did see a male osprey fishing (unsuccessfully) at the 2 lagoons that are just yards from the nest. | ||||||
| March 31 | 9196 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||

| April 1 | 4074 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Christine B: April 1, 2024 Nest # 4074 This evening I observed Mom Osprey sitting very low in her nest. I could barely see the top of her head. | ||||||
| April 1 | 6981 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Christine B: April 1, 2024 Neat #6981 This evening I did not see any movement at all in the nest or any Osprey in the vicinity. I will check again later on this week. | ||||||
| April 2 | 8028 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Mary B: I went by nest 8028 yesterday and saw one osprey sitting in a tree near the nest. The nest looks great. | ||||||
| April 2 | 9045 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Report #15, April 2, Tuesday Female Osprey in the nest | ||||||
| April 3 | 5395 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V has followed this nest for several years. It is a very deep nest and it is difficult to observe MO (Mama osprey) during incubation. She will reposition at times and so it is then when you can see her head or wing extended. Her behavior this past week mirrors that of prior years during the incubation process. It is therefore concluded at this time that incubation has begun. | ||||||
| April 4 | 9270 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | female laying in nest. no other osprey sightings. | ||||||
| April 5 | 8813 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | Y | N | incubation | |
| Note: | The nest is active, and the female is on the nest. I believe that incubation started around March 22nd. | ||||||

| April 5 | 2674 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Checked on nest today, 2 Osprey in nest chirping. March 20th - Checked on nest at least once in the past few days. Osprey in nest. February 25th - Checked on the nest today. No activity. February 4th - I went over to Chaplin Park. I found the nest. No activity at nest. | ||||||
| April 5 | 6984 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Checked on nest today. Single Osprey in nest. March 20th – Checked on nest at least once in the past few days. Previously I saw 2 Osprey. A few days ago, one in next another flew in. Today. Just one Osprey in nest. March 14th - Visited nest today. 1 Osprey was on the nest. After a minute or 2, the Osprey started to screech. Within 30-60 seconds another Osprey landed in the nest. A minute or 2 later one of the Osprey flew off. February 25th – Checked on the nest today. Osprey was sitting in nest. Another Osprey flew by. The Osprey in the nest flew out and they flew together, kind of chasing and chirping. February 4th - I went over to Chaplin Park. I found the nest. No activity at nest. | ||||||
| April 6 | 2520 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Mary Alice T has been observing this nest for about 10 years. Been through many trials and tribulations but these Osprey have been great parents and I'm sure that will continue in the future. | ||||||
| April 6 | 7142 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | John C: 7142 two at nest on 4/6 one flew away probably to hunt one flew down from nest repeatedly to grab weeds floating on the water. | ||||||
| April 6 | 7757 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | John C: 7757 4 /6 two osprey flew onto nest and tree but flew away together shortly later | ||||||

| Note: | John C: 7632 4/6 two osprey at nest. | ||||||
| April 6 | 6211 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne reports that this is her first year monitoring this nest. It is a well established nest that had been watched for several previous years by a different HHI monitor. Ricky & Lucy have been active this season and it does now appear that incubation has taken place. This is consistent with previous timelines. | ||||||

| Note: | Alan B: Incubation observed. Female laying low in nest with male perched next to her on nest. | ||||||
| April 6 | 6211 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: Checked the nest today and Lucy continues to sit in her nest, presumably on her eggs. Did not see Ricky today, although other ospreys were flying about. As there are several nests near this location, it is not possible to determine which nest the male ospreys call home. | ||||||
| April 6 | 5395 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: Checked on the nest this morning and MO continues to sit in her nest, presumably on her eggs. I saw another osprey flying near the nest whom I suspect was PO. He did not come into the nest at that time. | ||||||
| April 6 | 9059 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Mary Alice T just began observing this nest for the 2024 season. Named these two Osprey Lovey and Thurston and so far everything is going along as planned and it appears they are going to be great parents! | ||||||
| April 7 | 9045 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Kathy B: I’m a bit worried about my pair. We should be around 4 weeks into incubation. The female has been present consistently in the nest but I haven’t seen the male for 3 weeks. The past 2 days the nest has been empty. I will continue to monitor and will let you know. Kathy Report #15, April 7, Sunday Female Osprey in the nest at 4:00PM Report #16, April 11, Thursday One Osprey in the nest Report #17, April 13, Saturday Female Osprey in the nest | ||||||
| April 7 | 9408 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| April 7 | 4668 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Nest 4668 has Honey and Horner. The pair was back at the nest at the beginning of March. Nowadays I just see Honey and she seems to be making the nest ready for eggs. CDM has a osprey cam so I will keep track of any happenings on Monday and Tuesdays. | ||||||
| April 7 | 2505 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | This nesting site has never been occupied and is considered inactive. | ||||||
| April 7 | 9408 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Nest #9408.. Karen R began spotting this nest early Spring 2024 and has seen an adult sitting in nest and another time an adult flying away. It will be challenging to see any nest activity given the height of the nest but hopefully, we will see some little osprey activity. | ||||||
| April 7 | 2549 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Karen R reports: Nest # 2549 ... I've monitored this nest about 7 years and with the exception of 2023, there has been activity. It is on top of a Cross Island Parkway sign, so again, somewhat difficult to monitor - not due to height but rather lack of a spot to park and monitor from the busy roadway. Because the nest is in a heavily traveled spot, several other volunteers have shared their observations over the years as well. The nest is very thin, which makes it easier to spot activity. The adult osprey were given names a few years ago.... Sonny & Rosie! Joanne V reported seeing one osprey sitting in the nest last week. | ||||||
| April 7 | 7842 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Pat R reports: My nest #7842 on 10th hole of Dolphin Head Golf Course has been rebuilt after it was totally blown away during a late winter storm. Didn't see any activity this week when I observed it for just a couple of minutes. | ||||||
| April 7 | 7428 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | This nest has been taken over by eagles. | ||||||
| April 7 | 2512 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Robin S reports: I’m happy to report I found a female osprey in the nest and can see they have made a small nest. I’m so excited the nest is being utilized as it was dormant for a couple of years. | ||||||
| April 7 | 2508 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Carol U has monitored this nest for the past few years. It has been an active nest each year. Years 2022 and 2023 were not successful as the pair came back to the nest but abandoned it mid season. There was construction and building right under the nest both years. The pair has returned mid March 2024. It doesn’t appear to be incubating yet but they are actively maintaining the nest. Pictures taken weekly are available. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V: Twice this week Sammie remained in the nest for over 75 minutes while I was at the gym. Thought for sure she was incubating. But this afternoon shortly after I arrived at the gym, she flew out of the nest. Then about 10 minutes later, she returned and so did Sam. They had a brief, but intense, mating encounter in the nest. Then Sam left Sammie alone in the nest with her “ after glow.” ? They keep trying. This is similar to last year. Mated several times, but never produced any eggs. There’s still more time, though. | ||||||

| April 8 | 7016 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Update on nesting site #7016 When I visited the site today, 4/8/24, I was thrilled to see that the destroyed nest from the previous season was in the process of being reconstructed. There was one adult Osprey at the nest, but I couldn’t determine if it was the male or female. This is such good news! | ||||||

| Note: | Diane R reports: This is the third year for my young ospreys (Duke and Daisy) and the nest they built this year is very solid, holding up to high winds and heavy rain. Daisy spends quite a bit of time in the nest, but I cannot tell for sure if she has started incubating. I have several neighbors also watching the nest so we should know soon. Joanne, back until May 2nd. I've asked Sue Amundsen to either submit the next report or email me and I'll give you the update. | ||||||

| Note: | Carol Tunnicliffe has been monitoring nest #7016 for several years. This nest has always been very active. I am still waiting for the pair to arrive for the 2024 season. Their nest will need major refurbishing when they arrive. | ||||||

| Note: | Steve J. believes the nest is no longer viable. January 24th - I am sad to say I consider this nest history. A few years ago, it was an active/thriving nest. In between the golf course pruning the tree and storms it has been inactive. Looking totally abandoned the past 2 years. Early last year it was sad to see....at times a single Osprey sitting/standing on the branches near the unkept nest. There has been no attempt to repair the nest in the past 2 years. | ||||||

| Note: | Kathy A: 9117, I’m now seeing the pair together more and more at the nest, and I’ve seen them mate a few times. Yesterday I saw them bring some Spanish Moss to the nest, so looks like we may have a nesting pair again this this year. But no Osprey are there today in the rain. I’ll get more pics when the weather clears | ||||||
| April 13 | 9248 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | I checked the nest this morning. Watched a head popping up from a distance, thought it might be a chick, but checked a video when I got home, and it was an adult. So, the nest is still active. The adult seemed rather low in the nest, and just peeked up every 10 seconds or so. My video is very wobbly, and it will make the viewer dizzy, so I didn't attach it. But it was an adult head peering out. Hope it means chicks are on the way! | ||||||

| Note: | Linda S reports: I believe I have found the new nest for the formerly 7473. And someone is in the nest! Now for the bad news…it is on top of a very tall electrical tower in the Islanders Beach Park at 92 Folly Field Rd. and is so high it’s hard to see anything. I did see someone standing on the side of the nest and on another day some movement in the nest. I will continue to monitor but probably won’t be able to see any chicks til they are big enough to stand. Really hoping this is the return of OZZIE & HARRIET? | ||||||
| April 17 | 6211 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: Shortly after I arrived for my observation, I saw Ricky fly into the nest. Unfortunately, I wasn’t quick enough with my camera to snap a shot. He stayed briefly, low in the nest with Lucy, before flying out and resting on a nearby branch. | ||||||
| April 17 | 5395 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: As per usual, MO remained low in this very deep nest. I waited for a bit to see if she might reposition or poke her head out, but she did not. PO was nowhere to be seen today. These are typical behaviors for this pair. It’s always been just fortunate timing to see activity during the incubation process. | ||||||
| April 17 | 4175 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Tish S reports: The nest on the high tension tower next to the bridge has had an Osprey sitting on the nest for the last two weeks. I went back and forth across the Hilton Head bridge 4 days last week (4/8/2024 - 4/12/2024) and saw an Osprey sitting on the nest all 8 times I crossed the bridge. I went across the bridge again today and again there was an Osprey on the nest when I crossed the bridge both going and coming. Until last week I only saw Osprey sitting on the tower close to the nest, not actually on the nest. In past years the Osprey started nesting late and didn’t stick with it. It will be interesting to see how they do this year. | ||||||

| Note: | Wendy D: I have not seen Constance or anyone at 2550 since Easter. I took a photo if you want it, but there is a tremendous amount of construction below the nest. I am fearing this sent them packing and looking for a new home. I will keep watching. | ||||||

| Note: | This is the only active nest that I am aware of in Moss Creek. Momma bird is clearly in there. Deep in the nest. Came out quickly to stretch her wings. Went back in, Good news. 7763 is fine. I did not see her at first. Then she popped up, spread her wings, and then went back down. I think she is in there deep right now and probably has been. | ||||||

| Note: | Jeff M reports: All is great with Popeye and Olive Oyl. I am pretty certain she has eggs- has been nest bound for about 2-3 weeks now at least. My how time flies. Popeye is a a great provider and has a regular feeding schedule. | ||||||
| April 19 | 9623 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Lind S reports: The pair has been seen, but since this is a newly located and created nest, we do not have the exact date. However, I have seen one osprey beside the nest and what appears to be some movement in the nest. It is possible that incubation is underway, but it is difficult to determine at this point. It is assumed that this might be Ozzie and Harriet who have built a new nest to replace their nearby nest that was in a tree that was removed. | ||||||

| April 21 | 7293 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Today, I observed an osprey sitting prominently above the nest. After a few minutes, the osprey flew away. I did not see any movement in the nest. It’s a deep nest so it’s difficult to determine what may be in the nest. On April 12 and April 14, what appeared to be the top of an osprey’s head was observed sitting deep in the nest. March 28th - Osprey was sighted sitting in the nest. March 26th - Osprey has been sighted sitting in the nest, actively moving around the nest, then sitting on top of the nest. March 25, 2024 - I observed the nest today but no sighting of an osprey. I plan to check again in a few days. February 17th - Today I observed an osprey sitting on top of the nest. The nest appears to be in good condition. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: Just as I was getting to the nesting tree, Ricky flew onto a branch near the nest. He sat for about 15 minutes, preening most of that time. Lucy could be heard inside the nest, but was not initially visible. After Ricky flew away, Lucy repositioned in the nest and her tail and backside couid be seen. This nest is on schedule. | ||||||
| April 21 | 5395 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: Today was the first time in a couple of weeks that MO was visible in the nest. She remained in a sitting position (presumably on her eggs) for the entire 20 minute observation. Several times she chirped, but PO never responded or flew to the nest. An Osprey was seen flying about while I was walking to the nest, but he did not come near to the nesting tree. This nest appears to be on schedule, although incubation initiation was later than the past few years. | ||||||

I plan to check again in the next few days. Hoping to see more activity then! April 13 was when I saw "incubation" start. One adult was very low in the nest, with only its head sticking out along the side every so often. I assumed it was laying in the nest ("flat back") and just peering out. | ||||||

| Note: | Pat R reports: On April 25 I observed from Nest 7842 an osprey fly from the nest, dive into the nearby lagoon, grab a fish and return it to the nest. Couldn't observe what went on in the nest, so don't know if it was feeding the mother sitting on the eggs or what. | ||||||
| April 26 | 9089 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | I observed one of the pair returning to the nest with a fish. I do think there are now eggs, however it’s a pretty hard nest to get a great look at. I rely on my friend to take photos with her long lens camera. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: After PO flew in the nest, he remained there for at least 20 minutes. Often I could only see his tail and backside as he had his head down in the nest. It’s unclear if he was checking on the eggs. MO sat with her head upright during this time. Then PO flew out of the nest and I left. | ||||||
| April 26 | 5395 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: it was pretty quiet today during my observation. I initially saw the top of Lucy’s head sitting on the left side of the nest. As I walked closer , she ducked down deeper into the nest and was no longer visible. No sign of Ricky today, but know he is out and about in the area. I continue to believe that Lucy is incubating eggs. | ||||||
| April 26 | 2508 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||

Mama was sitting on her nest (presumably with eggs) while I stayed for about 20 minutes. This pair was one of the earlier ones to return this season, so hopefully they’ll be little ones soon. | ||||||

| April 29 | 7858 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Kathy A: Just visited Nest 7858 and one osprey was sitting right by the nest on guard and the other lying flat in the nest with only tail feathers visible. In a short while, the osprey in the nest got up and moved around very carefully and slowly and also called out a few times. She appeared to be looking down into the nest a lot and then lay back down but with her head visible above the nest the rest of the time I was there. I didn’t see any babies - last year my first siting of babies at this nest was on Mother’s Day. | ||||||
| April 29 | 9117 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Kathy A: Not exactly sure what’s happening at nest 9117. I was hoping for incubation by now after seeing one Osprey in the nest a lot recently and often the other osprey sitting on the limb next to the nest. Sometimes the Osprey in the nest appears to be sitting with its head barely above the nest, so I thought maybe incubation has started. Today, similar behaviors but one of the Osprey was out on the limb calling and calling so I didn’t think it’s mate was likely in the nest. I checked back later and an osprey was sitting in the nest and the other osprey flew in and delivered a fish! The Osprey in the nest seemed to take a few pecks at it and then flew away quickly. Same with the other osprey, a few pecks and then flew away with no one eating the fish and no one in the nest! Later I saw both osprey in the nest. Just now, hours later, one osprey is perched on the limb by the nest and I’m almost 100% certain its mate is in a pine tree about 50 yards away preening. So, once again, no osprey in the nest… | ||||||

| May 2 | 9137 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Elaine M reports: don't know what is going on w/ nest #9137 because I have not seen any action at the nest since my last pic to you,. Also, baffling is I rarely have seen Tally flying around "my" lake, nor Pinely in my tree when she gets her "R & R". I would always hear them chirping from the nest and haven't. I will continue checking. NOTE: It is possible that Tally is low in nest incubating, but continued observations are needed to confirm. | ||||||
| May 3 | 2518 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Today I visited the nest, and no osprey were seen. It appears that the nest is empty. I will consider this to be my last observation this season. | ||||||
| May 4 | 7763 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | My husband golfed on that hole yesterday. Both Osprey were there. One in the nest. It stretched a little then went back down. The second one was flying around the tree then landed near the nest. Feeling very relieved! May 3rd - A friend just texted me that when she and her husband golfed that hole yesterday a second Osprey was flying around the tree with the nest in it | ||||||
| May 4 | 5395 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: when I first arrived I saw PO sitting up in the nest. After about 10 minutes, MO flew out of the nest with a fish in her talons. This was a somewhat confusing. PO remained in the nest for a bit longer and then he flew out. The nest was unattended for a couple of minutes and MO returned to the nest. She flew out again without the fish and sat on a branch in the nesting tree overlooking the nest. PO was seen flying about the nest. Incubation was assumed to have started last month. While it’s possible one or more nestlings could be deep in the nest (and perhaps MO dropped the fish in the nest), It seems odd that both parents would leave the nest, albeit only briefly. I will stop by again in a few days to try to figure this out. I’ve been monitoring this nest for several years and have not witnessed that before. | ||||||
| May 4 | 6211 | HHI Osprey Watch | 0 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: I observed no activity today. I am still assuming eggs are incubating and that Lucy is too low in the nest to see her today. | ||||||
| May 5 | 9248 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | Y | incubation, feeding | |
| Note: | I visited the nest on Sunday, and saw 2 adults in it. I've attached a video to show their activity. One adult was standing near the edge of the nest, while the other was busily dealing with something lower in the nest, head down. In the video, if you zoom in, you can see it moving its head down into the nest, at times so deep/hard that it’s rear-end is bouncing up in the air. I can only speculate that it was dealing with eggs or chicks that I couldn't see, due to the height of the nest. | ||||||
| May 5 | 9022 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Diane R reports: I'm confident Daisy is incubating eggs but since I was gone in April, I don't know how long it's been going on. Today a rogue osprey started soaring very close to the nest, so Daisy started calling for Duke non-stop. Duke came swooping in and chased it away then joined Daisy in the nest to be sure it didn't come back. | ||||||
| May 6 | 8739 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | A few weeks ago, I saw an Osprey low in the nest. The mate flew in and one of the 2 immediately flew out. Today I could see one of the Osprey sitting very low in the nest. | ||||||

| May 6 | 5395 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: when I first arrived, MO was deep in the nest and not visible, but she was chirping incessantly. About 10 minutes later, PO arrived and they sat together in the nest for a while. PO left, but returned with nesting material which he deposited deep into the nest while MO sat toward the right edge of the nest and watched. I do wonder if there is a nestling, but have not yet seen a little head. PO flew out again, but perched on the branch of a tree near the nesting tree. I left shortly thereafter. | ||||||
| May 6 | 6211 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Joanne V reports: Today Lucy could be seen (and heard) in the nest for the first time in a week. She’s typically been deep down in the nest during my observations. Ricky was nowhere to be seen. Shortly after I snapped a shot of Lucy, she returned to her “incubation” position and was no longer visible. | ||||||

| Note: | Linda S reports: Early in the week I spotted a female, I believe, on the back side of the electrical tower. Prob 5/8. Still have not seen any movement in nest but will continue to check. The nest looks a little raggedy & it’s beginning to look as if the Osprey have no eggs in nest. It’s very frustrating to NOT be able to see the nest as it is on the very top of the tower & the bottom of the nest is about all I can see. I will continue to observe 3-4 times a week in hopes of seeing activity. I keep trying from diff spots, but as of yet, to no avail. | ||||||

| May 11 | 7858 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | U | ||
| Note: | Kathy A: I haven't seen babies yet but I believe we may have hatchlings based on the ospreys' behavior. Usually the male is on the limb by the nest and the female in the nest but she is no longer lying down flat - instead she's sitting or standing up and looking down into the nest a lot. Today the male was hidden in the shade right beside the nest (I didn't even know he was there until I heard his sharp calling) and the female was sitting up in the nest with her wings slightly out like she was protecting something or providing shade to the nest. Also lots of looking down into the nest, so fingers crossed that we'll soon see little ones! | ||||||
| May 11 | 9117 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Kathy A: I believe we have incubation but it's been confusing behavior for a while - but the behavior now seems to have settled with the female consistently sitting or lying low in the nest for the past couple days. I had not seen the male at the nest at all for days and was worried, but then saw him at the nest very early the past several mornings sitting on the limb and then yesterday he was briefly in the nest with the female. Note of concern - Thursday morning the male left the nest site and then shortly thereafter the female flew away - leaving the nest unprotected - unfortunately a crow flew in, gave a few quick pecks and left. I hope it didn't damage any eggs that might be there. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: at this point, I do believe there is at least one nestling. Today, MO was in the nest and sitting to one side-her head was barely visible. PO flew in with some nesting material again. He used his beak to push it into the center of the nest. MO stayed to the side, but was now more visible. He remained in the nest for several minutes before flying to a branch in the nesting tree where he began to groom himself. I left shortly thereafter. As I had walked about 500 yards from the tree, PO was observed flying above the nest and toward a nearby pond. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: when I arrived this morning I did not see Lucy in the nest, but figured she was deep down. Ricky was on a tree branch in a different tree about 200 yards away. This is a tree where he frequently perches. After several minutes, he flew from that tree to the nesting tree where he remained for a while. Lucy still was not visible. She is clearly still incubating eggs, but based on behavioral observations, I do not believe any have hatched at this point. | ||||||

| Note: | May 12th - Observed bird perching on side of nest. The Osprey was eating for quite a while and turning its head to the side. Its head was going up and down. It was either fixing the nest or feeding chicks. I didn't hear any chick sounds. Then it went back to putting itself down deep into the nest. There have been a lot of adult calls for many weeks now. Two birds have been seen regularly. Based on the timing and presence near the nest, I'm assuming there are eggs in the nest. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V: For the past 2 1/2 weeks, Sammie has not left the nest and she is often in the ”flat back” incubation position. She will reposition periodically, sometimes sitting more upright, while other times I can only see the top of her head. Sam flies in and out, staying for brief periods. Today I did not see Sam, but Sammie was in the nest. Prior to this, their behavior was befuddling. I observed them mate on at least 4 different days. I’m there 3 times a week for 60-90 minutes each time, so have followed them closely (since 2021). 35-40 days after the first egg is laid it will hatch, so should know more in a few weeks. This nest is shallow, so it’s easy to see the nestlings when they are there. | ||||||

Today she left the nest for a brief period and came back with a large amount of Spanish Moss. There are too many noises during the day to be able to hear any peeps. I'll go out after dark tonight to listen and see if I can tell if there is more than one. My neighbor, Carol Tunnicliffe, came down to help me observe and verify we have first time parents!

This morning I got a view of Popeye delivering a fish but was not quick enough with my camera. The pic below is Olive Oyl”s back as she feeds the chicks. I say chicks because I have seen 2 heads simultaneously. The nest box is visible but not sure how much longer - the opposite side facing the lagoon is open so Popeye has good access to nest but I can’t view from that side . All is good though. He is regularly fishing outside my house and they have been a very productive pair since we moved in here in 2013. | ||||||

| Note: | Carol T reports: All three chicks are doing well at the nest. The third chick, FTF, is about half the size of AT and HT, but still hanging with its older siblings. The two older chicks often tussle about with FTF keeping its head down. Jasper has done an excellent job suppling either Spanish Mackerel or Blue Fish to his family. The pair and their chicks have been bothered by crows and both parents have been fending them off. Predation by crows is possible with the chicks only 11, 10 and 8 days old | ||||||

| Note: | Christine B: For several days now including this evening I have observed one adult Osprey perched above this nest on a pole .. This nest is very high up on the tower. Mom and Dad enlarged the nest and built a higher edge on this nest this year. It is impossible to see movement inside the nest but I do believe that Dad is perched above every night guarding Mom and family. | ||||||

| Note: | Alan B: Here is a better view of the osprey chick in nest 7019; I’m thinking maybe about 2 weeks old because it’s not being brooded in this photo. Mama is still showing some brooding behavior to there might be a second younger chick in the nest. | ||||||

| Note: | MAT reports: Checked Nest #2520 and happy to discover three nestlings instead of one! Nick was in his usual spot on a nearby tree. Nora in nest trying to shade them from the sun. So thrilling since this family has not had three chicks since 2018. | ||||||
| May 26 | 7858 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | 3 | young standing | |
| Note: | Kathy A: I am so excited - just got back from Nest 7858 and we have TRIPLETS!!! And they're BIG triplets! In fact I'm shocked at how big they are already! I have visited the nest frequently, but until today had not seen a single nestling - the nest must be deep! Today when I arrived, Mom was eating a fish in the nest and was ecstatic when first I saw two babies beside her and then what a huge surprise - to see a third on the other side of Mom in her shadow. She must have already fed them well because none of them seemed interested in getting more food - only taking the bits when Mom offered it directly to their mouths - no clamoring or chirping or fighting for food. The two nestlings in the sun seemed hot with their beaks open and tongues out panting. The third little guy in the shade seemed a bit smaller than the other two siblings but I did see Mom feeding him. This is so thrilling to have three - I just hope Mom and Dad can successfully raise them all. | ||||||
| May 26 | 9117 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Kathy A: All appears well and all behaviors indicate that incubating is underway for the past few weeks. Mom is down low in the nest usually with only tail feathers and sometimes head visible above the rim. And I've seen Dad bring fish to the nest several times and hang out on the limb for brief visits. | ||||||

| Note: | Linda S reports: Wish I had better news to report, but I have tried to observe the nest several times a week and have not seen them in a week or so, but, last week while observing, I could hear someone calling, perhaps to her mate to bring dinner! Yesterday I was hanging out at the pool and saw, I believe a male with a fish landed in an oak tree but didn’t eat the fish, just kept calling out. Finally left with the fish. Another Osprey had a fish but left and the first Osprey followed, then returned with a fish, don’t know if it was stolen from first guy or not. But strange that the one with fish didn’t at least have a bite, he just held it on the branch and called out. I’m thinking it’s too early for fledging, but it sure acted like a young one the way it acted, like he wanted to be fed. My eyes are peeled to get some confirmation on anything at this point! | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V: I was at Port Royal Plaza a couple of days ago and had my camera with me. I took this photo. Not sure, but it may be a hatchling near an egg at the bottom of the photo. Sammie is sitting up in the nest. When I was at the gym yesterday (2 days after I took this), it appeared that Sammie was engaging in feeding behavior. Its always tough to tell. But tentatively, I think there may be a little one in the nest. I am going back to gym tomorrow and I'll take my binoculars and see if I can get a better idea of what may be happening. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: When I arrived, Lucy was in the nest and Ricky had just flown out. He later returned and sat on a branch in the same tree, overlooking the nest. It appeared that Lucy was engaged in feeding behavior for part of the observation, so I am tentatively indicating hatching. Future observations will confirm this. If it turns out there are no nestlings, I will edit the dates recoded. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: When I arrived at the nest I could hear MO chirping away. PO was nowhere to be seen, although at various times, there were 2-3 osprey flying about (there are 4 nests in close proximity to each other, so likely the males). MO only popped up a few times, but so quickly I could not get a clear shot. I still believe there is at least one nestling, so will continue to monitor. She continued to chirp throughout the 20 minute observation, even when she could not be seen. | ||||||

| Note: | Diane R reports: still have not been able to confirm the number of chicks but my neighbor is pretty confident there are 2 being fed. The parents have had a busy week fending off several black birds, a hawk, and a blue heron that tried to land on one of the tree branches. Hopefully in the next couple of weeks I'll start to see their little heads pop up during feeding. Carol Tunnicliffe took this great picture of Daisy. I think she's screaming for Duke to hurry up and bring another fish, lol. | ||||||
| May 30 | 9623 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Linda S reports: Finally, some progress! Last week, 5/30, I saw the male perched high on the top backside of the nest structure and then saw another, hopefully “Harriet” in the nest but seemed to have her tail feathers splayed out for awhile, and then seemed to stop and settle in. | ||||||
| May 30 | 7763 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | I am thinking the wings are the bird in the nest we’re pretty good size, so I am thinking maybe It was the mother and the male came back with a fish for them. I checked my nest twice today at 1:30 I did not hear or see anything. At 4:30 I heard a lot of calling out. Finally saw a head pop up and wing movement. After about 15 minutes a second Osprey flew in and stayed in the nest. Could it be the mother and a juvenile? I plan on checking several times a week now. Later in the day seems better. I will have my husband check with our spotting scope too. | ||||||

One adult flew to the nest just as I arrived, I assume carrying some kind of food, because the others looked pretty excited (lots of movement with heads bobbing). I could only spot 2 babies, don't know if there were more, due to the location of the nest. | ||||||

Seems a little late, but I’ll continue to observe in hopes we have chicks soon! This makes my heart happy! Btw, I’m pretty sure that the osprey I saw a week or two ago with a fish and crying was Ozzie, as the male on the structure was screaming just as he was in the tree last week! | ||||||

| Note: | MAT reports: Checked Nest #2520 and found Nora and 3 nestlings on the nest. The Osprey Nestlings met a milestone in their journey to fledge - Nora was waiting for Nick to bring breakfast, but got impatient and left the nest. She then came back fairly quickly with a fish of her own, but then made no attempt to tear chunks off to feed the kids. This was their first lesson in learning how to tear up their own food to eat, a lesson they'll need to survive when they fledge. Nora sat on the other side of the nest and watched them and Nick was in a nearby tree. At first, the nestlings weren't thrilled about not being hand-fed (well "bill" fed!), but two of the nestlings chowed down eventually. The runt, stayed away from her siblings, but I did see Nora feeding her a few tidbits later after the two nestlings had finished eating. It was a great nature day to observe this behavior I've seen many times before. 1 Photo | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne via Sheila: I regularly stop to look at this nest to see if there are nestlings. During the last week or so I’ve seen what appears to be feeding behaviors from the adults. Today when I looked I was able to see three babies and saw each receive food from the adult. I took a picture with my iPhone but it isn’t very clear. For what it’s worth, I have added the photo and put numbers under the babies. Hopefully someone with a camera will get a good shot. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: Although Lucy was the only Osprey visible this morning, her behavior suggested she was feeding her chick. The chick was only seen once during an earlier observation. I will continue to check. The photo is of Lucy between having her head low into the nest and sitting up. She repeated this behavior throughout the 20 minute observation. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: When I arrived, the chick was sitting up looking out. He/she was somewhat obscured by the pine tree branches. After about 10 minutes, one of the parents flew in, but stayed only briefly. Couldn’t tell if it was MO or PO. The parent then flew onto a branch in the nesting tree and remained there until I left. The photo was taken just after the parent flew into the nest; the chick is to the left. | ||||||

The chicks were left unattended for about 20 minutes and then Sam flew into the nest. He stayed there for the remainder of my visit-maybe another 15 minutes. Having watched this nest several times a week from afar, in the past couple of weeks, the parents have been vacating the nest for bits of time. The chicks are slowly learning independence! | ||||||

Last week we wouldn’t see an adult and then there was one on the edge a couple hours later. Last year we always saw an adult on or very near the nest. Also this year’s nest is deeper than last year’s (it was destroyed over the winter) so when she was sitting in the eggs you only saw her head. We never saw a juvenile’s head this year. | ||||||

And all 3 nestlings quickly became visible! Dad only stayed a few seconds and then Mom began feeding the babies. These are the most polite and cooperative osprey siblings that I have ever witnessed - each appears to wait his/her turn to be fed and they all seem calm in the nest. I've seen some wing flapping from the nestlings but no branching yet. Not yet, but soon I hope. (They weren't making any effort to peck or try to feed themselves either with the fish right in front of them - these guys may be a little slow to launch, lol!) | ||||||
| June 20 | 9117 | HHI Osprey Watch | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Kathy A: There is still lots of activity at the nest - all indicating incubation - lots of flying back and forth and tag teaming between the two mates - he flies in and spends a few minutes and then takes her spot low in the nest and vice versa. Sometimes sticks and moss are delivered and rearranged as well as fish meals - but so far I've not seen any behavior that indicates hatchlings. I would have thought so by now. Last year there were 2 tiny chicks clearly visible on June 21. Fingers crossed that they will be successful this year as well. A note of concern - last week as soon as one osprey did the hand off and the other flew away, a rogue osprey flew in a dive bombed the one in the nest! Lots of wing flapping and squawking ensued and the intruder flew away. The mate quickly returned but left again when all seemed well but then the exact same thing happened again. This time the mate returned and stayed awhile and all seemed calm thereafter. | ||||||

| Note: | Pat R reports: Last week, I thought the one I had been watching had fledged since I saw nothing in or around the nest. Yesterday, I first saw two bigger ospreys sitting on the nest doing nothing. Then one did fly up to a branch above the nest. About two hours later I noticed them sitting in the nest and a third head popping up in between them. Don't know if the kid is still hanging around or if there are two adults there. Can't figure out the little pop up head or maybe I was seeing something else between them. It was a long way off and I was using my binoculars. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: when I arrived at the nest, Ricky was perched on a branch looking at the nest. For only a brief moment, what appears to be one chick emerged from deep in the nest. He/she was fairly obstructed by tree branches. As quickly as the chick became visible, he/she returned below the edges of the nest . This will be my last observation for about a month. MAT another monitor (who actually used to watch this nest for this program) will do the observations in my absence. She has a much longer lens than mine so hopefully she’ll capture some great photos to post here. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: this nest has been somewhat of an enigma all season long. Last week when I observed, I saw no activity and heard no sounds. Today, it seemed like that was true again. I snapped a few photos and it wasn’t until I expanded them that it looked like a chick on the far right. Further observations will need to confirm this. This will be my last observation for about a month. MAT, another monitor, will be updating this nest. Her camera lens is much stronger than mine so hopefully she’ll be able to obtain better shots depicting chick activity. | ||||||

| Note: | MAT reports: I have stopped by twice this week and nothing to report. I heard an Osprey in the area, but never saw one. Nest looks inactive now. Mom should at least be coming up for a breath of fresh air but I think abandoned at this point. Will continue to monitor for another week or so... There on 6/20 and 6/22... NOTE: Behavioral observations suggested incubation was initiated, although this has not been confirmed. Last year this was a new nest and it was successful. One chick was produced. If there continues to be no activity observed by mid-July, it will be recorded as “nest failure” due to adult abandonment. | ||||||

The 2 female nestlings were watching closely. Nick and Nora were a little dismayed - tried to feed him but the position of where he was made it impossible. He was still out of nest when I left.

| Note: | Joanne V reports: I snuck in one last observation prior to going out of town tomorrow. Shortly after I arrived at the nest, Lucy flew into the nest with a fish. Ricardo (looks like male chick), popped up and began begging. Lucy engaged, but did not feed her chick just yet. She ate some of the fish herself and then shared her catch with Ricardo. I watched for another 15 minutes, but then left. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: I got in one last observation before I leave. Sadly, no activity and no sounds again. On reassessing the photo from the last observation, I’m now believing that was NOT a chick. MAT will be monitoring for me the next 3 -4 weeks. If she does not see anything, I will declare this nest a failure. Maternal behavior had clearly suggested eggs were incubating, so it’s possible the eggs just didn’t hatch or, if they did, the hatchling(s) didn’t survive. Based on dates, if there were a chick, he/she should be big enough to see clearly by now. | ||||||

| Note: | Alan B: Observations from 7/3/24 and 7/4/24 7/3/24 I observed one chick in the nest and no adults nearby. 7/4/24 I observed one adult female in the nest and no chicks. The chick from 7/3 I am assuming that this is chick #2 and that it fledged sometime on 7/3 or 7/4. I’m not sure of the fledge date for chick #1 as I was out of town at the end of June for several days. It had been quite a while since I had observed two chicks in the nest at the same time. A 50-day nesting period would have this bird hatching on or about May 14. That seems to be in agreement with the observation that I sent you on 5/24/24. Two photos attached. One is the chick from 7/3 and the other is the adult female from 7/4. | ||||||

| Note: | Linda O: Nest 9117: At first I saw nothing in what looks to be a deep well nest. I did observe one osprey looking over the nest from a branch beside it. He or She, I couldn't see if the one on the branch had a necklace or not. I also caught sight of the 2nd Osprey flying over, but was too quick for me and he or she did not come back while I was there. It began to rain so we hesitatingly left. Once I did get home and looked at my pictures I realized that the first images showed the Osprey in the nest, so it continues to look like incubating may be going on. | ||||||

| Note: | John C: 7632 7/5 the smallest of the three juveniles was on a branch adjacent to the nest, no other ospreys around so I guess two of the three juveniles had fledged On 7/9 small osprey on nest but he flew away, another in a nearby tree so I believe the three juveniles have all fledged now. | ||||||

| Note: | Christine B: Nest #4074 July 10,2024 Observed this nest from the water treatment side and then drove and observed the Preserve side of the nest. I think there are 3 youngsters in this nest now. I did not see an adult Osprey until a Hawk arrived in the vicinity. One adult flew in and chased the Hawk and then returned to the nest . | ||||||

| Note: | Linda S reports: have been observing Ozzie and Harriet’s nest and Harriet is faithfully attending to the nest and today Ozzie was flying above. Ozzie doesn’t seem to be “fussing” as much. Harriet was on the edge of nest, stretching her wings. Still no sign of chicks but they are probably going to have to grow a bit before we are able to see them. I still was excited to see both, one at nest and the other hopefully fishing for dinner! Hope to have exciting news soon! | ||||||

The chick, "Ricardo" was standing on a branch next to the nest. No sign of Ricky or Lucy. After I took a few shots, Ricardo had left the branch. I didn't see him fly off, so I have no idea where he went, but he did not go into the nest. I suspect this nest will be abandoned for the season quite soon. | ||||||

| Note: | Linda O (sub): At first I couldn’t see anything but I could hear continual calling. I then say some movement at the left side of the nest and realized that there was an osprey there. It seemed large so at first I thought it was an adult. I took many pictures and this bird would pop in and out of the nest continuing it’s calling. My husband was along and he thought that he saw something moving to the left of the bird I saw. I took many pictures and believe that they are 2 juveniles. See if you agree by the pictures. In looking at the pictures I finally saw that there were 2 birds. The one that you will notice low in the pine needles never left it’s spot. It might move it’s head or go toward the back of the tree where it really couldn’t be seen but for the most part it was in the same spot. The one I spotted first was very active, calling and moving about in and around the nest. It was quite noisy too. It took off from the nest and flew around several times so it has fledged the nest and is very capable of flying around. I suspect that all of the calling was for Mom and Dad to come with dinner, but they never showed up. | ||||||

| Note: | Joanne V reports: This nest was successful this season; the pair produced one offspring who has now fledged. When I went to check this morning, the nest was abandoned and the chick was no longer hanging out on one the tree branches. I did observe an Osprey flying about, but there was no way to tell from that distance if it was one of the adults or the chick. This is the last observation for 2024. | ||||||

| July 30 | 2515 | HHI Osprey Watch | 1 | N | 3 | young standing | |
| Note: | Sheila via Joanne: Stopped by the nest to check activity. No Osprey visible but could hear at least two. Osprey calls getting louder then saw one adult with good sized fish circle over the little pond by Goodwill. It headed to the nest followed by four more Osprey (one was the fledgling coming out of the pine tree by Goodwill). The fledgling got to the nest first to get the fish and the adult flew off to help the other parent chase away the two invading Ospreys. The fledgling mantled over the fish while calling loudly. The four adults were circling the immediate nest area getting higher then went out of sight. A few minutes later the female came back to perch in the snag near the nest and the three other Osprey returned to circle coming closer to the nest. The female took off and joined the circling ospreys which started to move away from the nest area again. The fledgling started to eat while remaining partially in a mantled position. | ||||||
