Description
This is a new nest in 2020. It is on the south side of the water tower in the Spring Lake Public Works yard. The nest faces the North Branch of Wreck Pond. It is occupied as of July 2, 2020, but difficult to determine the number of chicks due to the height of the nest. However, an adult was observed overseeing the nest.

| Note: | This nest was active every year since its inception in 2020. Last year, 2024, the pair had their first successful nest with 2 chicks. Unfortunately, this year, two weeks before the pair returned, a pair of Peregrine Falcons moved in and co-opted the nest. The osprey couple were not happy but were not successful in driving off the falcons. The osprey did try a number of other sites on the tops of phone poles but JCP&L were quick to come out and install baffles. The pair did finally manage a nest at the corner of Fifth and Essex in Spring Lake and this will be logged as a new nest. The peregrine falcons did successfully raise one chick in the stolen nest; he had his first flight on July 5 and the family do return to use the tower as a roosting site at night. | ||||||
