Hello FMers I was hoping to reach some locals from this area on this nest I observed. Has this nest been there in previous years? if so how was the outcome? I saw both these Osprey fly dangerously close to vehicles this day.

give the blog a read about them please. just curious as I've never seen a Osprey nest this close to the road. when they were gliding in a couple times it was def under a tall truck level.

I would say that this may be birds new to the nesting thing. Maybe there 1st try at it.

Great job at documenting it.
