On July 30, Dave Rimmer, Director of Land Stewardship at Essex County Greenbelt, researcher Bob Bierregaard, and a small crew of Greenbelt personnel and other researchers set out to trap and tag, with a Telemetry strap, one of the family of Osprey which nest in the summer before their migration to South America. The nest is on the high stand in the middle of the marsh west of the road to Coffin’s Beach.
After 4 1/2 hours, one of the young birds and one adult male were trapped. A one ounce satellite transmitter was placed on the juvenile’s back and they were released.

Good Morning Gloucester 
Nice video, Marty! I’ve always wondered about those nesting platforms. We don’t have Ospreys where we live, so I’m fascinated. If you take a mind to it, plase do other videos about those great birds.
