Cell phone image taken. Happy to see at least two good-sized young being fed. (EDIT) Confirmed, three healthy nestlings. | ||||||

| Note: | The Adult Male on this nest is banded with a federal band on the left leg. Code has been reported to USGS and others involved with Osprey banding in this area. He is a 6 year old that was hatched on a chimney nest at Building 2, Ft. Hancock - Sandy Hook just mile or two north of this nest! Amazing. Thanks to Ben Wurst of NJ Osprey Project and Jeannie Hauser who was the bander! | ||||||
