Our ospreys have built their nest mainly of twigs and branches of all types and sizes. There is also plant and grass material as well as dried seaweed. Some other types of materials are string, rope, polypropylene rope well as plastic material such as supermarket bags. The nest has a lot of depth to it to provide heat retention and as a safety factor for keeping the chick in the nest since nests are mostly built near water or on platforms in the water. Our ospreys had elected to build their nest on the last "dolphin" (a group of three pilings used to secure a dock), of our dock. We had long nails hammered into the tops to keep seagulls off of them. These nails provided a base in which the ospreys were able to lay and weave the foundation for the nest. It took three seasons for our ospreys to build the nest large enough and secure enough to successfully nest and hatch their eggs. The first eggs hatched June12th, 2011. The male is fishing for bunker which he brings to the nest. The female then takes over and feeds herself and her chick from his catch. They are very skittish when nesting, so we elected not to use our boat until after the young ospreys have fledged.

∙ 14y agoOwls don't usually build nests. Bigger ones steal nests from hawks and crows. Smaller ones nest in tree cavaties. Burrowing owls and snowy owls live right on the ground. Barn owls live in barns, churches, and old abandoned buildings.

∙ 13y agoFew birds make better use of the structures provided to them for nesting sites than the osprey. Its nest is so large that it requires a sturdy site, so the bird will construct nests on telephone poles and platforms along coasts and lakes. The osprey's nest is comprised of vines, sticks, sod and other materials.
