You should cruise the St Johns River Fred, there is nests on about every
other day marker pole. On some of the shorter ones you can look over directly
in the nests and watch the young ones. If there is no adult in, the young
ones will actually rise up and check you out as their curiosity gets the
best of them.

When you come up the Champlain Canal and get to Fort Edward, look at the
telephone pole by the side of the road 100 yards south of the Crocker's
Reef Guard Gate. There is an Osprey nest on that pole. The nest is
easily
visible to passing boaters.
Here's my webpage with some of my better photos of the birds in that nest:

That's the case everywhere in Florida - osprey nests everywhere - it's
not exclusive to the St. Johns River.
The osprey population in Florida (and probably other warmer areas as
well) is for the most part non-migratory, as is the case with a number
of other generally migratory species of birds (Sandhill cranes, for
example).

They must be all up and down the East Coast because I have seen a lot of
ospreys and their nests all throughout the Chesapeake Bay and NJ.

Here in the New Bern area of NC the Coast Guard removes all the osprey nests from the channel markers every Fall. Come Spring and the nests are rebuilt.
Red #2 on the Trent River has a red flashing light and every year a new nest and hatching chicks are there. I assume they all grow up insane after having the flashing light in their bedroom window every night.

Yes, they're even up in the Bay of Fundy and interior Canada, but those
are migratory, as are the ones in the Chesapeake, etc. Not sure where
the migratory/non-migratory line would be. They're in the inland rivers,
as well - seem to be just about wherever there's water and fish as you
don't find them in the Great Salt Lake!
