| Note: | Both male and female hanging out on the platform/nest and both went fishing, bringing back a fish each and consuming the fish they brought back. There was no feeding of fish to the other mate. I confirmed that there were no eggs because both birds were gone fishing, not leaving the nest at the same time, but there could not have been any eggs in the nest for the length of time the one sitting in the nest had been gone for. | ||||||

| Note: | Two adults flew off as I was setting up my scope, but they didn’t return and I didn’t get a sense that there were chicks in the nest anymore. The owner of the house nearby Susan Haffenreffer, said she didn’t think there were chicks any longer. | ||||||

| Note: | 2 adults on platform side perch when I arrived, then one flew to a nearby pole. No chicks visible.

| July 15 | 11854 | Leigho | 2 | N | 1 | young standing | |
| Note: | This nest has been difficult to get a confident read from. I have seen one chick in the past but not until today had I seen a bird. | ||||||

| Note: | Saw two different fish in the adult’s talons but no feeding. It was warm and the juveniles were sitting up and lying down. | ||||||
| July 23 | 11854 | Leigho | 2 | N | 1 | ||
| Note: | The young juvenile was sitting erect, alone on the nest and the two adults took off maybe to fish. | ||||||
| August 1 | 11854 | Leigho | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | I could not see the juvenile on the nest, but it is a deep nest, so I don’t know if it was asleep or away. | ||||||
| August 1 | 11855 | Leigho | 2 | N | 2 | young standing | |
| Note: | No feeding observed but one adult had a fish in its talons on the perch. The two juveniles were standing and looking around. Beautiful! | ||||||
| August 8 | 11854 | Leigho | 0 | N | 1 | young standing | |
| Note: | The juvenile has fledged and was seen on a utility pole nearby. The parents were not in sight. Peter Goldberg took a beautiful picture of the family unit yesterday, 8/7 and saw the juvenile flying. The three of them are pictured on or near the nest, which must have been for the last time. | ||||||
| August 8 | 11855 | Leigho | 2 | N | 2 | young standing | |
| Note: | The whole family of two adults and two juveniles could be seen on the nest. The two juveniles were eating, each had their own piece of fish. Once the juveniles had had enough, they Settled down in the nest, and one of the parents flew off with some remaining fish. | ||||||
| August 8 | 11850 | Leigho | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | I spoke with Susan Haffenreffer on 8/8, she’s very disappointed that her chicks did not make it, though we don’t have any clues as to why the nest failed. She would like to have the existing nest taken down so that next year the osprey will start over Building a nest that is not as tall or deep. The house sparrows and starlings have taken up residence in the nest and were present when the nest was still viable with Osprey on top. | ||||||
| August 13 | 11855 | Leigho | 2 | N | 2 | young standing | |
| Note: | The two juveniles were standing in a line with a parent so a photo revealed that they’re each a male and female. | ||||||
