A family of osprey will have a safer place to live thanks to an effort by Jersey Central Power and Light company this week.<\/p>\n

The electrical utility crew worked carefully to lift an osprey nest off a utility pole in the Sailor\u2019s Quay development in Brick, then placed the nest back in place on a wooden platform located away from the potentially dangerous wires. The platform was added to the top of the utility pole so the birds could continue to access their home in a safe way.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we wait for a successful hatch and fledge,\u201d said\u00a0Judy Tunis, a resident who shared photos of the transfer with Shorebeat.<\/p>\n

As New Jersey\u2019s osprey population \u2013 once decimated and in danger of collapsing altogether \u2013 has grown and thrived in recent years, the seabirds of prey have been finding new locations for their nests, including on utility wires.\u00a0Ron Morano, a company spokesman, has told Shorebeat in the past that osprey nests can sometimes contact electrical equipment, causing a fire. Additionally, the birds\u2019 wings can touch electrified equipment, producing a deadly situation.<\/p>\n
