3:00p.m. One last look as I am leaving to return home to central Jersey. One beautiful fledgling on the nest. I don't see either adult nor the 2nd fledgling.

12:00 p.m. I am a NJ Osprey Project volunteer who inventories all NJ nests in the northwest quadrant of the state. I was in the area visiting a friend who lives just 2 miles from this nest. As we returned from a bike ride, I spotted a fledgling on the nest apparently eating prey. I stopped, but had no camera to get a photo, only my cell phone. Another osprey was flying around the area of the nest/tower, calling. It appeared to be a second fledgling. As soon as we finished the ride, I hurried back in the car with my camera and binoculars, but by then the nest was empty and I saw no osprey in the area. I returned at 5:00 p.m. and found a bird sitting in the nest. I couldn't see its plumage, but I assumed it was one of the fledglings from its call. Clearly this is an active nest. In the future I will check on it whenever we are in the area. My friend is also part of the NJ Raptor Alliance, and I will ask him to keep an eye on the nest also!
