This is my very first nest building photo. I coveted the incredible Osprey shots that Flickr friend Shootpics (Bill Wilson) was getting at the Manasquan Reservoir in Howell, New Jersey so I made a trip over there on Sunday 4-5-2009 and checked it out myself.
I love this place. What a wonderful lakeside to spend the day. I saw Osprey, Bald Eagles, Red Winged Black Birds, Mute Swans, Double Crested Cormorants, Canada Geese and a multitude of smaller birds. They have a great perimeter trail system too with parking and bathroom facilities and an environmental center that I hear is pretty neat although I didn’t have time to check it out myself.
