Nesting Diaries

Found three chicks on the nest stretching their wings apparently getting ready to fly. Also one adult.

06/14/2020 by Raritan Riverkeeper
Saw 1 adult on the nest, another observer with a much better pair of glasses saw 3 chicks.

04/09/2017 by Raritan Riverkeeper
Found one adult osprey on the nest. Pair was recently displaced from a radio tower adjacent to the marina.

07/08/2016 by Raritan Riverkeeper
Observed since 2014. In 2015 and 2016 the nest produced 2 chicks each year but all were lost. Mostly in raids by other osprey or falling through a missing plank in the platform.
