I have three Osprey poles around my property. No young ones. All of them had pairs.....something is fishy.......
It is illegal for the Coast Guard to do that. I doubt the Coast Guard got a special permit. Thus, they violated Federal law, that they too are suppose to enforce, not violate. You can contact the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to report the violation of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, a Federal law.I saw several broods yesterday evening. I did notice the coast guard replaced a bunch of markers during the late spring and disturbed a bunch of nests.

...all that sideline vitriol aside, our osprey nests are in old trees, far from any human interference. And..no chicks evident this year. ?
If I may ...
Does the osprey have any predators? Has it been too hot or humid for the chicks? Bird flu?
We were talking about it a couple of weeks ago, haven't had any problems with birds building nests on any of the radar or Comm towers this year.
Only when there are eggs in the nest, until that point they're fair game.It is illegal for the Coast Guard to do that. I doubt the Coast Guard got a special permit.
