Other Activity: Both osprey were in the nest. 1 was in between lying down incubating and perching. The second was behind in the nest. It flew off onto the perch near the nest briefly, and then flew down and pulled off a fragment of debris hanging off the nest and carried it way off, and then returned and perched right behind the female(I assume). Both were then looking down into the nest, but I could see no little heads.
