Posting an update from Lisa Fields:

The osprey are doing well. There is one active nest at Navy Beach, one at South Tufa, and possibly 2 at Old Marina. They are mostly 1-2 weeks later in their development than the last couple of years, which is not surprising since they returned from their non-breeding grounds about that much later this year. The Pirate Ship and new nest at the end of the Boardwalk at South Tufa were not successful.

How many nestlings are in the nests, I wasn’t able to tell today. They are still too young, I could only determine that the adults were feeding young. I was able to see 1 nestling in the Old Marina nest though, so head out to the end of the David Gaines boardwalk if you want to see a nestling.
