Maps & Data
New Folly Field Nest is not currently following any individual nests.
Description
In late summer 2023, contractors removed the tree in which nest 7473 was located. While requested, the contractors didn't build a platform for the pair to use in 2024. However, a brand new nest has been located very close to this old nest site. We believe it might be the pair who has returned and started a new nest high up on a very tall electrical tower in the Islanders Beach Park located at 92 Folly Field Road. The pair is assumed to be Ozzie and Harriet. This pair was very productive in the past and while we can not be certain, we believe it is the same pair.

| Note: | Linda S reports: Sorry to say no activity at tower where nest was last year. The old nest was gone, probably blew down in one of the storms. Will continue to check. | ||||||

| Note: | Linda S reports: Great news! There is a nest and some activity there. Today I saw the female fly away from the nest. Can’t see anything else, but “we have a pulse”! I will keep a close eye on activity & will report progress! Made me smile today, looking forward to more activity! | ||||||

| Note: | Linda S reports: Haven’t seen much activity in nest but there are 3 Osprey flying in the area. One is female, one male but couldn’t see third. Maybe it’s just a visitor but I will keep an eye out for any activity in the nest! | ||||||

| Note: | Linda S reports: I’ve been hesitant to report while patiently awaiting some sign of Osprey at or in the nest . I’m not even seeing them in the neighborhood much so if they are nesting, it is a mystery to me. I will continue to check nest but not looking good. | ||||||

| Note: | Linda S reports: Sad to say I have checked the nest nearly everyday & seeing absolutely no activity. I often see one flying nearby, but never in or near the nest. It really makes me sad. I will keep my eyes open….just in case I’m wrong! | ||||||

| Note: | Linda S reports: Still no activity at 9643. I am seeing 2 & 3 Osprey over our complex at 45 Folly Field Rd not daily but often. Not sure if they are coming from the old Sam’s parking lot nest or if there could be another nest nearby. I continue to watch for activity, but can’t figure out where these 3 are nesting. I have seen the nest at Sam’s & activity there but that’s about it. Still makes me sad that the original nest on FF was destroyed to make way for the 166 timeshares. They were perfectly happy there! | ||||||
