2. There MAY be osprey chicks, on a different nest.
Parents showed up, in the neighborhood, saw them flying over my house and THE nest this week, but not staying on it OR on the owl box, so I look up in the sky (and sometimes see them.)
Bamboos been cleared from my 'property,' and can see the nest, no one's there. Geese were there, and neighbors have seen goslings, but no action on the great nest recently.
