Ben Wurst
Description
This one post platform was installed in May 2021 as a replacement for a poorly built 4-post platform. It had activity in 2022 but was not actually active. In spring of 2023 a pair has been seen on the nest and a proper nest has been built. There is a live streaming camera of the saltmarsh at this location which can view three occupied osprey nests.
