| March 31 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | I saw one bird arrive yesterday, March 30, 2026. Just now when I watched through my telescope there were two. One quite a bit larger than the other, so I believe a male and female. The smaller one has a distinctive white streak on its shoulder as did last year’s male. | ||||||
| April 2 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | The old nest was destroyed in the June storm last year and sits on the platform underneath the column that it was built atop. The two birds are sitting on a rail just above the old nest. I am curious to see if they build atop the old nest, or start over atop the column. | ||||||
| April 4 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Just observed birds mating atop the right side of the rail around the structure. As they faced me I had a good view of both through the telescope. Pretty sure these are the same birds that nested here last season. | ||||||
| April 7 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | The new nest is being built atop the old nest that fell from the top of the structure on to the platform below during the July 4 storm last year. This is the first time in the 3 years I have watched them that the nest has been built on the platform. Hopefully, it will be more secure in the new spot. | ||||||
| April 8 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Female arrives and calls, male comes and mounts her. After mating both are resting on the new nest and arranging sticks. | ||||||
| April 10 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| April 10 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Both birds on nest. Male chases off another Osprey that approaches the nest. Both birds leave the nest at 11:28 am. One returns with nesting material. Deposits it and takes off again. | ||||||
| April 11 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Male standing in the middle of the nest. Female on left side rail eating a fish. Male preening. Male flies off. Female moves from the rail, to standing on the nest. Make returns with nesting material. Both on nest as I sign off. | ||||||
| April 17 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | First time that I have checked the nest that no birds have been there. At 5:40 pm Male is back sitting in nest and preening. 5:50 Male leaves nest, circles around and lands on the rail in the northeast side of the structure. Stays only a few minutes and takes off again. As I check out, nest is empty again | ||||||
| April 22 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Although I wrote “no” for eggs, this is the first time I have seen the female sitting deep down in the nest, with only the top of her head visible through my telescope. The male in on the right side of the rail that goes around the structure. It holds a fish against the rail and pecks at it. Unlike last years nest which was built at the very top of the structure, this year they built it up against the south side of the platform that is midway up the structure. It abuts the south side of the rail and was built atop the debris of last year’s nest that fell off onto the platform during the July 4 th microburst storm. | ||||||
| April 28 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Again, I am sure the female is sitting on eggs. She is alone, deep down in the nest. I can only see the top of her head through the telescope. But because I can’t actually see eggs or the number, I recorded 0 above. 9:12 am Female still alone in nest. | ||||||
| May 6 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| May 6 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Male in nest. Female stretches wings on side of nest. Male leaves and female moves into the nest quickly. They have built up the sides so it is hard to see even just the top of her head. Male arranges a few sticks on the side of the nest. Pretty sure there are eggs or chicks in the nest, but did not record any as I cannot see any from my spot watching through a telescope. 9:30 am male leaves nest. Female remains deep down in the nest. | ||||||
| May 17 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | The female is sitting deep in the nest peering out to check on a boat anchored just below the nest site, fishing. I am sure she is sitting on eggs or chicks but have not been able to see in the nest . The male took off when the boat came. I noticed last year too that the boats who tie up to the structure or anchor below seem to disturb the birds 11:18 am male has not returned. Female on nest. Another boat anchored nearby | ||||||
| May 18 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Male on right side of nest eating fish. Female in nest. Looks like she is eating and/or possibly feeding chicks. Still too had to see inside the nest with my telescope. Hopefully I will be able to see nestlings soon. | ||||||
| May 28 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Female on the north side the rail of the nest site structure eating a small fish. She picks it up in her beak, circles around the structure to land on the side of the nest. She takes a bite of the fish, then disappears into the nest. The sides of the nest are too high for me to see, but I am pretty sure she is feeding something. Hopefully the chicks will be large enough soon for me to be able to report what is there! | ||||||
| June 1 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Male on bar eating a fish. Flies with the fish to the nest. Female comes out of nest and takes a few bites. Female returns to nest. It looks very much like she is feeding chicks in the nest. Bobbing up and down into the nest. I still cannot say for sure, though, as I am unable to actually see the chicks yet. Male stays , then flies off. Comes back with a long stick and deposits it on the side of the nest. Male standing on nest by the fish. Female head into nest , tail sticking out, still very active . 10:30am male leaves nest. Female settles down into nest, less active. Female partially out of nest eating and possibly feeding chicks at 10:39. | ||||||
| June 4 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | U | feeding | |
| Note: | Both birds on the nest at first. Female eating. Male flies off. Now I can clearly see that the female is not only eating, but also feeding nestlings! I put “no” above for eggs but have not actually see that to be the case. 9:52 am female no longer feeding. Now she is sitting inside the nest. Male still away. | ||||||
| June 4 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | U | ||
| Note: | At 10:10am Male returns with fish. Holds the fish against the northeast side of the rail and eats. Female still sitting in nest. 10:45 female active eating and feeding nestlings | ||||||
