Observation details
I witnessed two Osprey working on nest construction atop the communications tower directly to the east of the public boat launch. The presumed female stayed atop the sticks that had already been added and worked on new sticks that were brought by the presumed male. I saw the presumed male bring two long sticks to the nest site during my stay. The nest still has many sticks to be added. Both birds flew away from the site, presumably to forage or to get more sticks, right before I left. On August 20, 2022, a boat launch attendant had told me that OSPR were bringing sticks to the tower. While I did not see either bird during my visit that day, I did note sticks atop the tower.
