Osprey Nestling Banding at Barnegat Light Osprey Cam

- 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!
OK, I'm a bit late to the party, but this is a brilliant video - thank you! Great to see the camera setup and it was lovely to see how quickly the parents returned to the nest once you were done. Fresh fish in the nest for them - great result! 🥰
This was great!! Love that you left fish as an offering for their trouble.
You're the best, you helped this nestling and his parents feel a little better with some fish after the banding! It was definitely worth it in the end!
Thank you for sharing the banding Ben! I especially like that you banded them where they laid
without causing any added distress, and that you left the fish gifts. :-) -Take care
Yes, I try to reduce stress as much as possible. Giving them some fish is the least that I can do.
Thank you for this educational video. The process is alot smoother than I imagined. Such a Pro!
Wonderful to watch. Thank you
Amazing they do not move at all 😮
Wow, amazing.....I was dizzy all the time you were up there....
Great workBen , thank you! The weather will improve this afternoon
Thank you for your support! A bit breezy but nothing that we couldn’t handle. 😊
Awesome thanks for the video!
Terrific video thanks for all you do!
Thank you for sharing this....thank you for what you do.
is it possible to see the video from the nest cam after he left? when they found the fish and when the babies "woke up"?
Parabéns! Obrigado!
What a shame about the high wind ! couldn't really hear too much of what was being said...
Yeah, we hope to get an external mic for future bandings that are recorded and/or streamed.
Thank you
This was my first time watching a live banding for a Raptor and thought at first the two young Osprey had been sedated, are they all so docile this young to let you move their legs and band them or does it depend on the the type of Raptor as would Bald Eaglets this age allow you do the same? Thanks again was amazing to watch
(It's just so pity that the tiny didn't survive & this season had lost Too many 🐣 ...despite those empty nests 💔 Hope they won't be Really endangered when 👥 still can't/won't save the weakest 🐣 So Far 😥 💐 ~~)
and the other chick ? died ? the little chick
Yes, sadly the youngest did not survive.
