The Independence Hotel started the osprey live stream in 2020:

The nest on the banks of the Willamette River adjacent to Riverview Park was frequented by the long term resident osprey couple Olga and Ollie (named by the community).

When they built the Hotel (Grand opening was on October 10th 2019), they moved the pole/nest 100ft North I believe.

In 2020, Olga and Ollie had 3 eggs. However Ollie went missing for 3 days on Saturday May 23rd, 2020, so Olga abandoned their attempts to raise a family for that season. Olga needed to eat to survive, and without a worthy male this was impossible.

Olga returned in 2021, but did not accept a new partner. One male brought a fish up to nest, but he ate it himself. We figured he was still too young.

There was a second male that we named Suspenders, however he left shortly after he got a name.

In 2022, one female came one time, but the grass was too tall to see if it was Olga.

We shall see what happens in 2023. Could be a new couple of osprey for this season.
