We checked in on the osprey nest in Carlstadt yesterday evening to find the family in fine fettle.

  In the photo above, four Ospreys are visible — although the nestling behind the red screening is admittedly hard to see.

   The nest has been registered with the New Jersey Osprey Project. It is officially Nest 042-B-001.

   Here is a link to a South Bergenite column on Ospreys this spring.

   On the "jump" is a  photo with an arrow pointing to each Osprey. Nos. 1 and 2 are the nestlings; 3 and 4 are the proud parents.

   No. 1 is hardest to see, hence the enlarged number.
