Awww, here is hoping that the resident male finds a new mate and the nest becomes alive with activity.

Nest updates
May 1, 2018: We captured a new video of the bald eagles stealing a fish from another bird and arguing about who gets the meal on the cam platform. As for the ospreys, our male seems to still be looking for a mate. The other day we saw him eating a fish in the pond to the right of the cam.

No new updates from BW.....

Nest Updates:
May 26, 2018: It's clear now that we won't have ospreys nesting this year on the cam. We have seen a male defending the nest, but he hasn't mated, and instead we've seen moments where multiple ospreys were using the nest as a temporary hangout. We hope next year will be more productive, but we will keep the cam online throughout the year as we have other birds visiting the nest, including the eagles

Nest Updates:
April 9, 2019: [/b]
We've seen about four visits from individual ospreys, but we need a couple to claim the nest and keep the eagles away if the ospreys hope to use it for nesting/

No new updates and every time I check the nest is empty!
Added .. It is May 6 and no new updates ! No Osprey nesting again this season !
August 31, 2019:: A pair of ospreys did not use the nest in 2019. Based on the video, we believe a male osprey was defending the nest from other ospreys, but he did not nest there. We hope a pair will claim the nest in 2020. Ospreys return to the Refuge starting in March.

2020 STARTS HERE
Nest Updates:
February 20, 2020: We used a bucket truck to reach the nest and perform some maintenance on the platform box. We also added some sticks to hopefully encouarge an osprey couple to adopt the nest. Ospreys should start returning to the Refuge around St. Patrick's Day.
Nest Updates:
April 13, 2020].. We've seen a male osprey defending the nest on occasion. We're not sure if it's the same male from the previous year, but he seems intent on defending the nest from other ospreys, even though he's not nesting there. We continue to see regular appearances by the eagles, which like to perch on the platform and eat their meals. You can see videos of this action on our YouTube channel and Facebook page.
July 20, 2020: We did not have an osprey couple nesting at the platform this year. We continue to see a male osprey defending the nest from other ospreys, which makes it hard for a couple to claim the nest. We'll keep the cam live because we continue to see other birds using the platform as a perching spot, including the bald eagles.

2021 STARTS HERE
Nest Updates:
April 30, 2021: No ospreys nesting here this year, but we'll leave the cam online since bald eagles, herons, owls, and other birds sometimes visit the platform.
