Nesting Diaries

I am VERY happy to report that the Ospreys have rebuilt in the same spot, despite the triangular piece of sheet metal laid across the pole - or perhaps because of it. As of today, 4/14/23, the nest has been completely restored by these industrious birds. 2 pictures uploaded. Yay!

Location corrected (you can actually see the nest on satellite view).

Unfortunately, according to the proprietor of the Long Branch Poultry Farm, the utility company came in and ripped down the existing nest, put a triangular deterrent device on top of the pole. The nesting pair, which just recently arrived, is attempting to rebuild the nest on the pole. Hope all goes well for them---they need their own platform.
