Date Nest Watcher Adults Eggs Young Observations
April 6 12147 RIBELLS 1 N N
April 6 12146 RIBELLS 2 N N
Note: It’s possible there are eggs. The couple have been very active. For example, the male brought the female a fish which she took to a different light post. She ate the fish while he sat on the nest. He then came over five minutes later
April 6 12147 RIBELLS 0 N N
Note: No visible birds since last year when nest was partially destroyed by a wind storm
April 14 12147 RIBELLS 2 N N
Note: They have come. I stayed an hour to wait the male after she’d been calling for him a long time
April 14 12146 RIBELLS 0 N N
Note: I waited half an hour but the pair I watched last week did not visit the nest during my watch
April 23 12147 RIBELLS 2 N N
Note: Eggs always possible but hard to assess. Best guess not yet
April 23 12146 RIBELLS 2 N N
Note: Eggs are possible but best guess not yet
April 28 12147 RIBELLS 2 Y N
April 28 12146 RIBELLS 2 Y N
Note: There is a third osprey coming around with the other. They seem to be after each other. The female flies with them as if supporting one of the two. We have not witnessed the female get fed
May 3 12146 RIBELLS 2 U N
May 13 12147 RIBELLS 2 U N incubation
Note: Msle continues to bring food as female sits on eggs
May 18 12147 RIBELLS 1 Y N incubation
Note: Male did not make an appearance during the hour I watched the nest.
May 18 12146 RIBELLS 2 Y N incubation
Note: Male came to feed the female
May 28 12147 RIBELLS 2 U N incubation
Note: Male brought a fish. Female did not leave the nest but was seen eating.
May 28 12146 RIBELLS 2 U N incubation
Note: Male brought fish to nest. Female at in nest, possibly sharing with young but not visible. She had been taking the fish to another light post to eat
May 31 12417 RIBELLS 2 N N
Note: Female standing high on nest so assume no eggs. Male came to tree nearby. Possible eggs have hatched but no sounds so doubtful?
June 5 12147 RIBELLS 2 U N
Note: Female and male both present
June 5 12146 RIBELLS 2 U N
Note: Both male and female present
June 14 12147 RIBELLS 2 N U
Note: Female high in nest. Male arrived unsuccessful in fishing. Chick verbal I think. Could be multiple though
June 14 12146 RIBELLS 1 U N
June 19 12147 RIBELLS 1 N 1 young standing
Note: No male in one hour of observing
June 19 12146 RIBELLS 2 N U feeding
Note: Watched for 45 minutes
June 29 12147 RIBELLS 1 N 1 feeding, young standing
Note: Unsure if a second chick is in nest
June 29 12146 RIBELLS 1 N 1 feeding, young standing
Note: Possible a second chick is in the nest but not seen
July 3 12146 RIBELLS 0 N 1 young standing
Note: I watched for 45 minutes. The parents did not make a showing but the chick seemed to be resting comfortably. Assumption that both parents were foraging for food.
July 3 12147 RIBELLS 2 N 1 young standing
Note: Both parents were fending off what look to me like Eastern King birds. The birds were dive bombing the nest when the female was sitting with her chick. She started defending the nest and the male arrived to help her. I watched the behavior for 45 minutes.
July 5 12147 RIBELLS 1 N N
Note: Female osprey was noticeably distressed as I checked on her during the heat wave. She was calling out and agitated, moving from light pole to light pole but not returning to the nest. I was afraid the nestling may have perished.
July 10 12146 RIBELLS 0 N 1 young standing
Note: Watched a nestling for almost an hour. No parents visited but the young bird showed no sign of distress. Assumed the parents were out finding food.
July 13 12147 RIBELLS 0 N N
Note: No activity seen on the nest for three consecutive visits, of 45 minutes to an hour of observation. I believe the nest has failed, like last year, again due to extreme weather patterns causing undue hardship, but without the loss of nest material?
July 24 12146 RIBELLS 2 N 1 feeding, young laying down
Note: One adult and child were lying down in nest. The parents swapped as the other adult arrived with some food. The child ate.
July 24 12147 RIBELLS 0 N N
August 1 12146 RIBELLS 2 N 1 young standing
Note: The young one has fledged! Looking great with his parents. All flying about
