| Note: | No osprey activity observed, possible it was abandoned due to proximity of the other osprey nest on the soccer fields, but could have just missed them. Comparison of pictures after 1 week do show more sticks were added. | ||||||

| Note: | One osprey flew in with fish for the other to eat. Unclear if Osprey was eating the food itself or feeding nestlings, but no nestlings could be observed (so assuming still incubating for now) | ||||||

| Note: | Sitting to side of nest, eventually moved towards center, preening. Male returned with fish, though unclear if feeding the female or if they were feeding any nestlings (no young were visible) | ||||||
| June 27 | 12089 | mferreira | 1 | U | 1 | feeding, young standing | |

| July 5 | 12319 | mferreira | 2 | U | U | ||
| Note: | Two osprey sitting on this shabby nest together. Seems incredibly unlikely there are any eggs—nest and sticks have collapsed into center of light. | ||||||
| July 5 | 12087 | mferreira | 2 | U | U | ||
| Note: | One adult osprey eating a fish in the BH parking lot, the other flew off the nest as I arrived. No visible young during check | ||||||

| Note: | Very vocal female sitting on nest. The male, or another osprey, landed on a pole across the 1st field to eat a fish but did not bring it to her. Upon returning from checking the main complex nest, she was still vocalizing (peeps and chittering). No sign of young | ||||||
| July 13 | 12090 | mferreira | 2 | N | 2 | feeding, young standing | |
| Note: | Heard osprey before seeing them! Very loud today, female vocalizing on nest with young, male was across the field with food. He brought the food over to them and observed feeding, 2 young could be seen during observation. Also 3-4 other osprey flying above, male sunning and vocalizing in response to the other osprey | ||||||
| July 13 | 12087 | mferreira | 0 | U | U | ||
| Note: | No osprey observed today | ||||||
| July 20 | 12089 | mferreira | 2 | N | 3 | young standing | |
| Note: | Lots of activity, one adult osprey on light post across field. Another osprey above on parking lot light—after observation with binoculars, looked like a likely recent fledge. Eyes were more orange, feathers more scaled, and it seemed to be practicing flapping on the pole. Looking at nest, it looked like there was an adult with two of the other young. One young was practicing flapping and hovered above the nest several times. | ||||||
| July 20 | 12282 | mferreira | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Four Osprey flying high above, one on the nest upon arrival but flew off. | ||||||
| July 20 | 12089 | mferreira | 1 | N | 2 | young laying down | |
| Note: | One adult on one of the light poles calling at the other nearby osprey overhead. Saw a glimpse of two young in the nest briefly. | ||||||

| July 26 | 12089 | mferreira | 2 | N | 3 | young standing | |
| Note: | All three young have fledged! One adult on nest with a fledgling who took a lap around the field and returned to the nest. The other two were flying around by surrounding houses, ultimately perched on the backstop. Another adult high in the communications tower. | ||||||
| July 26 | 12282 | mferreira | 2 | U | U | ||
| Note: | Both osprey in nest but flew off | ||||||
| July 26 | 12090 | mferreira | 2 | N | 2 | young standing | |
| Note: | One fledgling was seen on a pole—unsure if this is a third young for the nest that was not previously noted or an unrelated young bird. Unsure so I only marked the two confirmed young. Was begging. Other two on the nest also calling out, adult nearby had a fish. At one point there was the young bird and two other adults sitting on one pole, but the Osprey with the fish (presumably the parent) came through and began to chase the intruders away (not the young bird). Proceeded to chase the other multiple Osprey (there is always a lot of activity by this nest with the nearby unproductive nests) | ||||||
| July 26 | 12087 | mferreira | 2 | U | U | ||
| Note: | Two osprey were on the nest upon arrival, both looking towards center of nest. One left, the other sat in brooding position for a while, but also left the nest. Still no sign of successful nest. | ||||||
