| Note: | There were no ospreys in the nest, but I have seen some there recently. There was an osprey in a tree about 30 yards from the nest. | ||||||
| April 21 | 11771 | JayBuckley | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Initially there was just one osprey in the nest on top of an athletic field light tower. There was another osprey on a different light tower about 100 yards away. after about 10 minutes the second osprey took flight, flew over the nest and then flew off. About 5 minutes later it came back with a tree branch and brought it to the nest. | ||||||
| April 21 | 11766 | JayBuckley | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Dang, this nest is hard to find! Finally spotted what I felt was a nest at the top of the near left tower as seen from the Bristol side. Spotted an osprey flying high with a branch in its talons. It flew around for about 5 minutes and eventually flew to where I thought I'd seen the nest. | ||||||
| April 24 | 11766 | JayBuckley | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Nest is not visible, can only log bird activity around the nest. Osprey was perched on bridge outside of nest area for about 5 minutes, then flew off. | ||||||
| April 24 | 11771 | JayBuckley | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | Two ospreys at nest, one in nest, one perched next to it. That one took off from the nest, did a short flight to a nearby light stand. Stayed there for about a minute then flew back to the nest, touched down for less than a minute and then took off. | ||||||
| April 24 | 11765 | JayBuckley | 1 | U | N | ||
| Note: | When I arrived the nest was empty. After 15 minutes I went to leave, but then observed an osprey come and land in the nest, but almost instantly took off. | ||||||
| April 25 | 11765 | JayBuckley | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | I haven't seen any ospreys physically in the nest for a few days. There is often one in a tree about 50 feet away, as there was today. See photo: nest in foreground, osprey in background. | ||||||
| April 30 | 11771 | JayBuckley | 2 | U | U | ||
| Note: | Two ospreys, unable to see if there are eggs or not. | ||||||
| April 30 | 11765 | JayBuckley | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Finally saw the top of the head of the nesting female. Male was perched in nearby tree. | ||||||
| May 3 | 11765 | JayBuckley | 2 | U | N | feeding | |

| May 3 | 11771 | JayBuckley | 2 | U | N | ||
| May 8 | 11771 | JayBuckley | 2 | U | N | ||
| Note: | As I was approaching the nest, an osprey flew in and landed on the nest. I walked around to try to get a better view. About 10 minutes later, another osprey flew in with a fish and landed on the light pole next to the nest. I walked back towards that pole and noticed that the osprey in the nest was now perched on the light pole structure next to the nest. In the attached photo, the nest pole is in the foreground. They both remained where they were for the remainder of my observation. | ||||||
| May 8 | 11765 | JayBuckley | 2 | U | U | ||
| Note: | Female remains in the nest. Possibly incubating. Male perched in a tree overlooking the nest. At one point the female in the nest started calling out rapidly. | ||||||
| May 8 | 11766 | JayBuckley | 0 | U | U | ||
| Note: | No activity observed. Nest is high up on top of a bridge tower, not visible from the ground. Activity can only be reported if birds are flying to or from the nest or perched beside it. | ||||||
| May 19 | 11771 | JayBuckley | 2 | U | U | ||
