Pam and I checked out the Osprey nest on the intake tower at Lake Cachuma this morning from a boat. Initially, there were no birds on or near the nest but as we headed east two Osprey flew over us with one carrying a fish. The bird with the fish flew to the tower bridge and consumed the fish while the other flew to the nest. The latter bird didn't show any behaviors that would suggest there were eggs/chicks in the nest. The nest looked in very good condition and it had some fresh-looking greenery on it. Other than a 100 or so Western Grebes, none of which had young, there was very little bird activity.
