Join CWF Habitat Program Manager Ben Wurst as he ascends to the BL Osprey Cam nest to band the young ospreys for future tracking. Ben has installed over 200 nesting platforms for ospreys and banded more than 1500 young in his career over the past 16 years in New Jersey. Around 30% of young ospreys are banded each year during nest surveys where specially trained volunteers and staff visit nests to determine their outcome. Ben surveys nests from Point Pleasant to Atlantic City. Much care and consideration are taken to reduce stress to adults and young during these surveys. Special thanks to Rory at Pine Barrens Tree for providing the bucket truck to access this tall nest!
