Can't see what is happening in this nest, but it is much larger than a couple of weeks ago

08/04/2022 by jmac
Good views of the nest by boat. No fledglings on nest but Osprey working on the nest.

07/27/2022 by jmac
was out by boat today and could see what looked like a chick on the far side of the structure in the nest

07/18/2022 by jmac
couldn't see any activity but there was an Osprey and a new nest two towers over

07/04/2022 by jmac
one Osprey on the tower over the nest. Nest not visible from the east side looking west

06/19/2022 by jmac
saw a bird go to the nest with a branch and disappear behind the structure. This nest should be observed by boat to see what's going on.

05/29/2022 by jmac
one bird on the tower, can't see into the nest from shore.

05/18/2022 by jmac
both birds at the nest today

05/15/2022 by jmac
it's hard to see but I did observe a male bring a fish to the female that got off the nest to accept it, so it has to be active.

04/24/2022 by jmac
Osprey bringing sticks

04/03/2022 by jmac
It appears that new nesting material has been added, but no sign of Ospreys

07/06/2021 by jmac
visiting the nests by boat with the NJSEA environmentalist today. Good views of the nest which appears to be empty. Ospreys on the tower but not near the nest

06/20/2021 by jmac
There was an Osprey on the tower, but I couldn't see any movement in the nest. This nest is a far distance for viewing and blocked by some metal so it's hard to know for sure what's going on.

05/09/2021 by jmac
I observed Osprey birnging sticks to the nest two weeks ago. Today when the male came to the nest the female got up from the nest so I think it is safe to assume that she is incubating.

07/08/2020 by jmac
no activity for the third visit in a row. I would say this nest failed. There is an eagle nest a few hundred yards to the north on the river. Could be the problem

06/08/2020 by jmac
Osprey bringing fish to the nest and also bringing sticks as I observed for quite a while. I would guess there are young but just can't see much.

05/25/2020 by jmac
An Osprey continues to keep watch nearby on the tower

05/13/2020 by jmac
The nest is hidden behind some steel beams so it's impossible to see whats going on, but an Osprey perched on the structure above the nest so maybe and incubating female

04/05/2020 by jmac
An Osprey bringing branches to the nest

03/30/2020 by jmac
I was told that a pair has been seen on this structure

07/07/2019 by jmac
no activity observerd, but there were Ospreys in the vicinity

06/30/2019 by jmac
I couldn't see any activity today; viewing with a scope

06/14/2019 by jmac
Watched the nest for more than a half hour and didn't see any movement. This is a big, deep nest and probably a half mile from my viewing point so I'm not ready to call it yet. View with a 60x scope.

06/02/2019 by jmac
Osprey appears to be shading chick/chicks on the nest. A second bird brought a fish to the nest while I watched.

04/29/2019 by jmac
Reports that Ospreys were seen bringing sticks. There was a male present when I viewed the nest so it's seems active. Will monitor

04/29/2018 by jmac
I haven't checked this nest yet, but was told by a man who has direct access that there is no activity at this time. Hope to get access soon myself

07/06/2017 by jmac
checked the nest with the scope today. there was a pair of adult birds present, even one feeding in the nest, but I couldn't see any chicks. This is a big nest and quite a distance from where I can observe, but after an hour I would think I would have seen what would be a 6 or 7 week old chick if one were there. I will check again next week.

04/22/2017 by jmac
04/22/2017 by jmac (edit) ( this is a duplicate of nest 3411) I could see the nest from across the river at Mill Creek Point Park. It had deteriorated but was rebuilt and there was an Osprey perched on the tower. I couldn't see inside the nest, even with the scope, but it could be occupied. ( after inspecting my photos, I could see in two the raised back of an Osprey, so it is occupied and incubating)

This is a duplicate with 3411

06/05/2016 by jmac
two Osprey perched on the tower, but not near the nest. I don't think this nest is active

05/29/2016 by jmac
No sign of any Ospreys near this nest after 1/2 hour of observation. Possible there is a bird incubating that is not visible

08/29/2015 by jmac
On a pontoon boat trip sponsored by the Hackensack Sports Authority and Bergen Audubon and we went past this nest. There were two Ospreys observered at the nest, but too far to determine if adults or fledglings.

04/22/2014 by NJMC Jim
Have seen Ospreys on or near nest twice now. Lots of Peregrine activity as well. Nest failed last year after being washed away by Hurricane Sandy.
