| Note: | This nest is on top of a light pole and is, unfortunately very flimsy. There was an osprey there, as well as a second osprey that mated with the first, but no eggs or young. | ||||||

| Note: | I noticed earlier, around 12:30pm today (via the web cam), that there was I baby. I believe he is newly hatched. I check in on this nest periodically through out the day and did not see a baby yesterday. Today around 3:17pm I see the mom Osprey feeding the baby. | ||||||

| June 8 | 9798 | 2 | 1 | 1 | feeding, young laying down | ||
| Note: | I monitor this nest via the web cam. I witnessed 1, maybe 2 young, and what looks like 1 egg. Both make and female were present at time of check. Feeding was also observed. | ||||||

| Note: | This was observed via the Osprey cam. | ||||||

| Note: | Male and female were both visible, as well as 2 young. | ||||||
| June 10 | 3346 | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | The only Osprey there was what looked like the female. As far as I could see she could have either been incubating eggs, or brooding young. No eggs or young were visible though. | ||||||

| Note: | No Osprey, eggs or young were visible. This nest has been active this year. We’re not sure if we saw an osprey laying low in the nest. Picture included… | ||||||

| Note: | Female was laying very low in nest…possibly brooding? | ||||||
| June 11 | 13204 | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Male was a few feet away from nest and female was very still in nest and laying low. Looks like she may of been brooding. | ||||||
| June 11 | 3510 | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | Female was laying low in nest, as well as moving around in nest. She was very careful in her movements…possibly brooding? | ||||||
| June 12 | 7548 | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | One Osprey was at the nest and was very vocal to another Osprey perched in a tree about 100 yards away. There were both “talking” to each other. I’ve seen 2 ospreys at this nest before, so I’m wondering if they were a pair. | ||||||
| June 12 | 13224 | 2 | N | N | |||
| Note: | The 2 ospreys were very protective of their nest. Being very vocal when other ospreys flew by and I’ve witnessed one chasing another away when it flew too close to the nest. I’m wondering if there are young that you can not see. | ||||||
| June 12 | 13204 | 1 | N | N | |||
| Note: | I believe that there were 2 ospreys at this nest just before I started to observe. As I pulled up to the area to observe, there was an osprey flying overhead, that I believe came from this nest, then went off to hunt for fish. | ||||||
| June 12 | 5538 | 2 | N | 2 | feeding, young laying down | ||
| Note: | Both parent ospreys were there, with mom feeding 2 young. | ||||||

| Note: | This nest is very flimsy and on top of lights at a ball field. I’m not even sure it could hold eggs. Last week there was 1 osprey here, as well as one that flew to it, then flew to another light across the field. This week, there was none, although an osprey was across the field on the other light. | ||||||

| Note: | This nest is high up on a light pole, so seeing eggs and young is nearly impossible. Hopefully, once young get bigger, we will be able to see them. | ||||||

| Note: | There is an old wooden structure about 50 yards or so, away from this nest. I frequently see one osprey on it, eating, then fly into the nest. This visit, there was a male on it, and I believe it’s the male from this nest. | ||||||
