Edwin B. Forsythe NWR - Osprey Banding
In the late afternoon of June 24, 2014, Ben Wurst, Habitat Program Manager with CWF was joined by Ann Marie Mason Morrison, with Friends of Forsythe NWR, our founding partner with the Osprey Cam, and two USFWS interns, Jessie and Kirsten to band the three osprey nestlings produced at the Osprey Cam nest. This is one of the most difficult nests to reach. It either takes a boat (at high tide) or two 20' ladders (at low tide) to cross a 15' wide ditch on the coastal salt marsh. Anyone who has crossed the ditch can attest to how difficult it is. Now you can watch and see what when into banding these three nestlings. A portion of the video was cut when Ben was attempting to repair the sound at the camera equipment box. At the same time the nest was cleaned of harmful plastic debris that the birds used as nesting material. A total of 3 balloons and a plastic bag were removed. The three young were banded with USGS bird bands for future tracking. Enjoy!

Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge Snow Geese 10
When you consider that Snow Goose numbers have grown quickly since the mid-twentieth century on their nesting grounds (in some cases by a factor of 25), and that they now have caused serious vegetation destruction to their nesting grounds (over grazing and denuded soils) causing them to expand their range in search of new suitable breeding/foraging areas and that they learned to exploit human-created food sources along their migration and wintering areas, one starts to think that their increased presence here in N.J. year to year seems to be following the same path of its cousin, our resident Canada Goose.
