I managed to snap a couple of photos of the Osprey nest at the Ocean Sciences property
at the south end of Pat Bay on Aug. 9th. I didn't see any young ones in the nest.

I visited the Osprey nest site behind the Juan de Fuca Rec. Centre on Sep. 15th and was surprised to see one of the 2 young ones perched on the light standard near the nest. It was calling but neither of the adults arrived with food.
