| Note: | Spotted the male from previous years today! Had to be a current day arrival as I've been checking every day for the last several. Also observed his band and took closeup shot of his eyes to compare with last year - definitely the resident male. He had a partial fish on the nest. Also, after a few minutes he took off with the fish and proceeded to climb up to altitude and do some "Sky Dancing" for what was at least 20 minutes straight of circling and squawking, climbing and diving. So amazing to observe this behavior. His flight path took him on a very large circle around the area I would say almost a mile across. HE was everywhere, advertising his arrival to all of the Ospreys that have arrived here in Oceanport, NJ in the last few days, and there are quite a few. Happy Spring! | ||||||

| Note: | The male at this nest has a silver federal band ending in 792. Have been trying to see the other numbers, if anyone can decipher, that would be awesome! Male and female on the nest - continue to build it even though it is extremely overbuilt already. Work of art. | ||||||
