All OspreyWatch Nests

Large flat nest of sticks, close to a stream, which could be an osprey nest. Discovered that this is a bald eagle nest, not an osprey nest!!

On the crossbars of a hydro pylon. Awesome to see another nest in this area!

Along the Hackensack River, was the site of a nest a few years ago that fell down. Only accessible by boat. This nest was only started by the pair during the summer of 2019. By late August it is quite developed and may be active next spring should it survive the winter

Restricted access area. In tall dead tree on northern bank of Intracoastal Waterway (Elizabeth River Southern Branch) at The Preserve on the Elizabeth, and not far from Bells Mill Park. Thanks to the kind folks at CFM, the HOA Board here, and HOA Board member Steve Arrendale in particular, for alerting me to the nest and its location. Much of above copied from Nest #7190, The Preserve on the Elizabeth, nest description. Please see Nest #7190 description and report.

Tree by canal. Nest is very close to UD-2 nest platform by the monument. I have observed osprey in the tree all season and thought they were perched there from other nests. Some foliage has dropped and I clearly see the nest now. One osprey is often perched there. No idea if any hatchlings this year.
