| 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 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? | ||||||

| Note: | Female and male both present | ||||||
| June 5 | 12146 | RIBELLS | 2 | U | N | ||

| 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. | ||||||

| August 1 | 12146 | RIBELLS | 2 | N | 1 | young standing | |
| Note: | The young one has fledged! Looking great with his parents. All flying about | ||||||
