Nesting Diaries
did not see anything at this site; did not have a nest or look occupied at all
Male at adjacent tower. Others noted osprey seen earlier in the week
Male observed 3/27/17 bring going material to nest. This nest was 99% destroyed over the winter. Only a scattering of sticks remain.
The male has returned. He was on the "feeding" tower eating dinner tonight!

The nest lost a lot of its mass this winter. They have a lot of work to do to get it in shape.
This nest lost a lot of its bulk over the winter. One osprey was spotted bringing a new stick to the nest.
Spotted a female juvenile on the adjacent tower along with a turkey vulture on 9/20/13. She was calling, but received no response. The vultures (turkey and black) have taken over the towers at this point. Safe flight to our 2013 fledglings!
All ospreys have fledged! Not sure if there are 2 or 3 fledglings. A female has some baling twine stuck on her left foot.
to wildlifenj-the tower is the center of the three towers - photos posted today. If you enter the park at the center entrance, drive to the white building, park and walk back a short way, tower is on your left.
Two or possibly three young in the nest. The young are almost the size of the adults.
Chicks have hatched, not sure of date or how many at this time.
Not sure which tower at this location...east or west.
I believe there are eggs in the nest. Stopped in about 6:15 4/10/13 and observed the male on the adjacent tower eating and the female sitting in the nest (incubating). After a few moments, he flew to the nest with the fish and delivered it to the female. The female took the fish to north tower to consume the fish, the male remained at the nest.
Both adults observed on Tuesday 3/26/13 @ 6:00 PM. Others at this location mentioned that the ospreys have been present for several days. The female was observed in the nest and was calling to the male who was eating on the adjacent tower.
