| Date | Nest | Watcher | Adults | Eggs | Young | Observations | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| May 2 | 11758 | Jim O | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | M&F initially at nest. M left. F remained and was eating, presumably fish brought earlier by M. F standing in nest, then settled to incubation posture. M returned and stood on edge of nest. M flew to a nearby light pole. | ||||||
| May 2 | 11763 | Jim O | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | An adult pair was in the group of trees where there was a nest in previous years, but there is no nest at this point. No nest building observed. | ||||||
| May 2 | 11762 | Jim O | 1 | U | N | incubation | |
| May 2 | 12154 | Jim O | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | No adults were at the nest but there was a pair perched in another tree on the peninsula. They never approached the nest. | ||||||
| May 2 | 12153 | Jim O | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Initially pair on nest, both standing. One flew to tree nearby. Then the other flew to a different tree. Nest is quite sparse. | ||||||
| May 2 | 11760 | Jim O | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | The remnants of a nest active two years ago are still in place, but no osprey were seen in the immediate area and there is no indication of new nest building this year. | ||||||
| May 12 | 11758 | Jim O | 2 | Y | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Initially both adults at nest. Both briefly stood. M & F exchanged positions. Incubating posture. F adult flew off. F returned with a long stick and added it to the nest. F flew off again toward bay. F returned with a small stick then exchanged positions with M. M flew off, returned and stood on rim of nest, called. | ||||||
| May 12 | 11763 | Jim O | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Still no signs of a nest at this location. Pair on branch near location of old MG tree nest. M holding partially eaten fish then continued eating. F perched on same branch calling. F moved to M, took the fish and flew off. M waited several minutes then also left. No signs of nest building. | ||||||
| May 12 | 11762 | Jim O | 2 | Y | N | incubation | |
| May 12 | 12154 | Jim O | 2 | Y | N | ||
| Note: | Female in nest incubating. Male perched in the same tree. | ||||||
| May 12 | 11760 | Jim O | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Remains of previous years nest still in place but no signs of recent activity. | ||||||
| May 12 | 12153 | Jim O | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Initially one adult female standing in nest. It quickly flew to a tree at the edge of the field and remained there. In viewing the nest through a scope I noticed feathers and bones hanging from the east side of the platform. I took photos. Later as I was packing up to leave a passerby told me something had just fallen from the nest. I walked over and took photos. I think it is likely the remains of a dead osprey. The carcass was picked clean with just a few feathers and bones left. I reported it to the staff at the park office. The nest was substantially larger than when I checked it last week. | ||||||
| May 19 | 11758 | Jim O | 2 | Y | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Initially one adult perched on a different light post, then it flew off. Initially nothing visible in nest, then a few feathers blowing in a stiff wind. Female incubating really low in nest, staying out of the wind. Male returned to nest without fish. Female stayed low in nest. | ||||||
| May 19 | 12154 | Jim O | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | One adult Osprey seen hovering above the tree with the nest, presumably the male. The female was not visible though I would guess she was there incubating deep in the nest since there was a very cold strong wind blowing off the bay. | ||||||
| May 19 | 11763 | Jim O | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | No Osprey present at old nest site but one perched in another tree nearby; no signs of a nest. | ||||||
| May 19 | 11760 | Jim O | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Remains of previous years nest still in place but no signs of recent activity. | ||||||
| May 19 | 12153 | Jim O | 1 | Y | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Female in nest incubating. No other Osprey in the area. I'm presuming her mate died last week. If she successfully hatches her eggs she'll have a hard time protecting them and hunting for fish to feed them. | ||||||
| May 22 | 11762 | Jim O | 1 | Y | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Female low on nest incubating in high cold winds off the bay. Male not observed at nest though he could have been one of several other Osprey seen flying in the general area. | ||||||
| May 26 | 11758 | Jim O | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | M in nest incubating. F on the next light post. Female flew off, circled to gain altitude then headed out over the bay where another Osprey was also flying. F returned to nest w/o fish and exchanged positions with male who flew off toward the bay. Another Osprey circled the nest but was warned off by the Female. | ||||||
| May 26 | 11762 | Jim O | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | F incubating. M not initially present but flew in from the south and landed on nest perch. F stood up stretched wings then returned to incubating. Male left. | ||||||
| May 26 | 12154 | Jim O | 1 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | F in nest incubating. M not present. | ||||||
| May 26 | 11763 | Jim O | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | No sign of a nest. One adult perched on the opposite side of the tree watching the salt pond. | ||||||
| May 26 | 11760 | Jim O | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Nest from previous years still in place but no signs of recent activity. No osprey in the immediate area. | ||||||
| May 26 | 12153 | Jim O | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | I was surprised to find M and F at the nest, having thought the male was killed previously. F was low in the nest incubating. M was initially standing on the edge of the nest calling repeatedly, then flew to a nearly tree at the edge of the field. | ||||||
| June 2 | 11758 | Jim O | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Pair initially present on nest. F incubating. M flew to another light post then left the area. | ||||||
| June 2 | 11762 | Jim O | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Pair present initially standing in nest and arranging nest materials. Then F settled to incubating posture. She seems more active, moving around in the nest, possible chicks? Male left the area and returned to perch on side of nest. | ||||||
| June 2 | 12154 | Jim O | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Pair present, one adult perched in tree, one in nest. One from nest briefly left then returned and settled to incubating. Two other adults flying in the general area. | ||||||
| June 2 | 11763 | Jim O | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Still no signs of a nest at this location. One adult was perched in the tree tops well away from the location of the previous nest. Turning around and looking east I noticed a total of 10 osprey circling in the generall area of the edge of Colt SP and the Bristol Harbor. | ||||||
| June 2 | 11760 | Jim O | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Old nest still in place but no recent activity. | ||||||
| June 2 | 12153 | Jim O | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | M in nest incubating. F returned wet but without a fish and stood briefly in nest calling to ward off another Osprey flying in the area. Then F flew off again leaving M to incubate. | ||||||
| June 9 | 11758 | Jim O | 1 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | One adult low in nest incubating. | ||||||
| June 9 | 11762 | Jim O | 2 | N | 2 | young standing | |
| Note: | Pair initially standing on nest rim. Heads of at least 2 juvs. seen intermittently, barely visible at the rim of the nest. Unable to get a photo showing the nestlings. Male left the area. | ||||||
| June 9 | 12154 | Jim O | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | No activity seen at nest. One adult eating a fish on a tree on the NW corner of the peninsula. No way to know if this adult was associated with this nest. | ||||||
| June 9 | 11763 | Jim O | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | There was one adult perched near the location of the previous nest, but there is no nest this year as far as I can see in this group of trees. This is a popular perch. | ||||||
| June 9 | 11760 | Jim O | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Old nest still in place but no signs of recent activity. No Osprey in the immediate area. | ||||||
| June 9 | 12153 | Jim O | 2 | U | N | incubation | |
| Note: | Pair present. Male incubating. Female standing in nest and calling. F flew off and perched in a tree at the edge of the field. M calling. A 3rd Osprey cruised by low over the edge of the field eliciting calls from the platform but it left quickly. | ||||||
OspreyWatch is managed by The Center for Conservation Biology. The project was developed in an attempt to bring together a global community of observers to collect information for the common good.
