| April 26 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | At 1:30pm the male Osprey was circling over the bluff in front of my home. I watched as he chose a large stick, twice his length at least, and picked it up. He flew low over the water to take it back to the nest site. . Then, I watched through my telescope as he landed and presented it to the female on the nest. For five minutes they both worked it into the nest. Then, both stood on the nest grooming themselves. As I stop watching now both are preening on top of nest in a light rain. | ||||||

| May 13 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Nest was empty when I first checked. It became obvious why. Two men had tied up to the structure that the nest is on and we’re fishing directly below it. Both Ospreys were flying large circles around the nest site. Female hovered above the nest and then landed. 9:16am: Female down deep in nest. Possibly sitting on eggs? Male out of sight, boat still below. 9:44am: male still avoiding the site. Men still fishing below. Female on nest. 11:34am: boat gone, female down in nest. Male away. | ||||||
| May 19 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | At 2:15pm I checked the nest site. Both Female and male were on the nest standing as another Osprey was hovering close over the nest. The male chased off the third Osprey. The female seemed to rearrange the nest a bit and then sat down deep in it again. Pretty sure she is laying eggs or sitting on some as she has been deep in nest for days. 2:35pm female in nest. Another Osprey on rail under nest to the left. Resident male, not intruder. | ||||||
| June 2 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | I only see one Osprey this morning. It is way down in the nest and at first I could only see the top of its head. Then the entire head. This year the front of the nest toward me is built up higher than last year, so harder for me to observe what is happening inside the nest. A bird has been observed down in the nest for weeks now and I am pretty sure eggs and possibly young are here but can’t confirm yet. Very quiet this morning. | ||||||
| June 2 | 11815 | Riverside eyes | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | At 9am male returns to site and eats fish on the right rail below the nest. Then flies over the beach in front of my home, picks up a large stick, returns to nest and deposits it near female in nest. Sits above her by the stick. When checked at 10 am, only top of female’s head deep in nest visible on nest site | ||||||
