Speaking of Kingfisher nest sites, I think I found one, too. Yesterday around 8pm I was pulling up to the stop sign at the intersection of Myers Rd. and Lakeshore Rd. (near the entrance to Myers Park). A Kingfisher flew overhead with a fish in its bill. Looking in my rearview mirror, I could see a cliff-like projection with exposed soil (similar to what I have previously seen Kingfishers nest in), just behind the "camp wood" trailer. I drive this route every day to and from my home, and the Kingfisher is regularly seen here; this is the first time I've seen it carrying a fish to that area. I'll return and see if I can confirm the nest site, but anyone heading down to see the Salt Point Osprey could easily pull off at the turnout there and confirm my suspicions.
