Nesting Diaries
Spotted 3 +1 adult this morning - a full house. The nest right near this one also has one nestling. Unable to make separate reports in OW. Picture uploaded. 7/28/23
Picture uploaded of the nest with 3 and the nest immediately west of this one with one nestling.
Clearly occupied by the UAS image taken nearly above the nest in 2022. Looks to be on a receding shoreline.
While looking for a lost dog with my drone, I spotted this nest out on a peninsula in Monmouth Beach. This shot was taken from 100+ feet with an 8x zoom on a DJI M2s. Ospreys were apparently not disturbed, and it gave me a great vantage point. NOTE: Surveying Osprey nests with a drone is absolutely not recommended!!! Apparently no Osprey young are on the nest at this time.
