The male has returned. He was on the "feeding" tower eating dinner tonight!
The nest lost a lot of its mass this winter. They have a lot of work to do to get it in shape.
Spotted a female juvenile on the adjacent tower along with a turkey vulture on 9/20/13. She was calling, but received no response. The vultures (turkey and black) have taken over the towers at this point. Safe flight to our 2013 fledglings!
to wildlifenj-the tower is the center of the three towers - photos posted today. If you enter the park at the center entrance, drive to the white building, park and walk back a short way, tower is on your left.
I believe there are eggs in the nest. Stopped in about 6:15 4/10/13 and observed the male on the adjacent tower eating and the female sitting in the nest (incubating). After a few moments, he flew to the nest with the fish and delivered it to the female. The female took the fish to north tower to consume the fish, the male remained at the nest.
Both adults observed on Tuesday 3/26/13 @ 6:00 PM. Others at this location mentioned that the ospreys have been present for several days. The female was observed in the nest and was calling to the male who was eating on the adjacent tower.
