| Note: | Female on nest with small chick siting upright. | ||||||
| June 17 | 12971 | AJMooney | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | This nest is a little hard to observe. There's something on the original nest, but can't determine if it is debris or osprey head. It's not moving. There's also an adult laying on top of the neighboring lamp post. | ||||||
| June 18 | 12512 | AJMooney | 2 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Adults on platform perches. I believe the nest is failing due to high human activity in the marsh (Rutgers researches have an extensive weather monitoring station next to the platform and I believe they've been visiting a lot). | ||||||
| June 24 | 9143 | AJMooney | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | No Ospreys nearby. Seem to have abandoned nest. | ||||||
| June 24 | 1417 | AJMooney | 2 | N | N | ||

| June 24 | 12970 | AJMooney | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | I keep observing Ospreys either on the West or East side of the bridge, but never at the same time. Wondering if the 2 nests are being occupied by the same nesting pair. Neither nests seem to have offspring. | ||||||
| June 24 | 9144 | AJMooney | 1 | N | 1 | young standing | |
| Note: | Female on nest with chick sitting upright. Another adult flying above. Probably the paired male. | ||||||

| Note: | On platform perch. | ||||||
| June 24 | 12524 | AJMooney | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Male perched on nearby mooring piles. First time not seeing the female present. There was a lot of construction occurring within 100 feet of nest, so I believe that spooked her away. My team has reached out to the property owner notifying them about the disturbance. | ||||||
| June 24 | 8310 | AJMooney | 1 | N | 1 | ||
| Note: | Adult on nest with 1 chick sitting upright. Potentially another chick deeper in nest. | ||||||
| June 24 | 9250 | AJMooney | 1 | N | N | ||
| Note: | 1 adult now bringing sticks to other tower on the bridge. A few minutes later, 5 Osprey were suddenly swarming the old nest, seeming to be territorial towards each other, even though the nest has been unused and dilapidated this season. | ||||||
| June 24 | 7784 | AJMooney | 2 | N | 2 | young standing | |
| Note: | 1 adult on nest with 2 chicks. 1 chick is about 85% size of the adult and standing. Other one is a little smaller and lying down. Other adult is flying nearby vocalizing. | ||||||
| June 24 | 1418 | AJMooney | 2 | N | N | ||

| Note: | Adult perched on nearby tide gate remnant. | ||||||
| June 29 | 12512 | AJMooney | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | We had reached out to the previously mentioned Rutgers weather station researches regarding our concerns about their impact on the nesting Ospreys and they replied saying that they had already deconstructed the weather station and won't return. Now both ospreys are gone due to the disturbance :( | ||||||

| July 7 | 12970 | AJMooney | 0 | N | N | ||
| Note: | Adult on nearby pole feeding itself. The peregrines were successful at breeding on the bridge this year (3 fledglings) and they've been fairly rambunctious. Maybe this is why Ospreys didn't brood. | ||||||
