April 10 12051 wmcdonald 2 N N
Note: One on the nest again. Presumably the male came by and circled overhead in the warm afternoon thermals
April 12 12026 wmcdonald 2 N N
Note: The nest platform is destroyed and the nest is gone. The female I presume was perched on a nearby tree which is common. When I approached she flew away. I found her at the nearby "shooting range" nest that is another platform/box but had no nest in 2025. I hope they build one here. She flew back and her partner I assume returned and they went back to the damaged substation pole and I saw mating behaviors. Devastating

Note: The nest is gone. The surrounding foliage has been clear cut and destroyed. I had a hard time processing it. Hope the ospreys are more resilient than people.
