Yes, I have been watching progress for a couple days as my one son has played several baseball games down there recently. One Osprey was carrying huge sticks to the nest on Saturday, including dropping a couple by accident beside the field where they kids were playing (wish they were wearing batting helmets while out in the outfield!!). Osprey also observed copulating that day on the nest. Last night (Monday) one bird was on nest while second brought in two different fish. Once, as bird approached with a fish, a gull chased after the fish carrier and chased it all the way to West Hill (I say, "all the way" but that is only a couple hundred yards as the Osprey flies.
