This thread is for Osprey nests that don't warrant a thread of their own, and for other raptor nests of interest, in an effort to keep Osprey threads to a minimum for the sake of other Community members.

Hancock Forum for very close coverage of the nest.
From KORKY's introductory post for the 23-24 SWFL season:
"This is the first season with M15 & new mate F23. F23 was first documented in the area Summer 2023 before officially bonding with M in October 2023. The original adult bald eagle pair, known as Ozzie and Harriet, had been coming to this nest since 2006. After Ozzie’s passing in the early fall of 2015, Harriet & M15 bonded in late fall of 2015. After eighth seasons as a mated pair, Harriet never returned to the nest in Feb. 2023 and M successfully raised their young E21 & E22 to fledge.' F23 has just laid her first egg dickpritchettrealestate.com/.../

F23 has 2 eggs and one appears to be about to hatch!... So I'm starting the new thread a couple of days early. I don't know who is currently incubating.

Yes - it was simply unresponsive - it really must have been something I said, or the way I said it ???
The Lake Capote cam is currently buffering.
Thanks Scylla! Will give it a try!
It’s in a very windy spot. They had hoped by moving the cam it might help with the buffering but guess not!
SWFL's E23, who started off this thread as an egg... has BRANCHED !!! Not spectacular, but still qualifies as branching.
Thanks for that update Scylla, good to know they have a survivor!
Spanish Cliff Osprey Nest
From the organisation that gave us the Storks (cam still absent).
I've wasted much time since yesterday trying to get Google Translate to work, then it finally dawned on me that Chrome might hack it and it did.
QUOTE - It is a completely natural nest, built by ospreys on a cliff about 50 meters above sea level, inside of the Cabrera Archipelago Maritime-Terrestrial National Park. There is evidence of its continuous use since at least 2016.
Thanks Scylla. This is marvelous to see!
So good to see an Osprey in action again, thanks Scylla!
The male has been in 'n out doing a little bit of netorising and waiting, but spent quite a lot of time away from the nest. Late morning, a Peregrine Falcon arrived out of nowhere - literally! - and tested the nest:
