Observation details
I finally managed to locate this nest and found it tucked up under the big concrete bridge that crosses the river near the wetland. Interestingly, the EAPH nest is right beside a couple of active CLSW nests (2 of about 4 active nests I saw) also built up under the bridge. I watched the 2 EAPHs as they were both off the nest for a few minutes and preening side by side in a tree that overhangs the river. Eventually, one of the adults returned to sit on the nest. Based on this I'm thinking there are likely eggs in the nest at this point but no hatched young yet. I managed a couple of photos of the nest through my scope.
