Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge has a number of Osprey nesting platforms scattered throughout the refuge. This one overlooks a section of Atlantic City.

The Osprey is a large bird of prey that has a diet consisting almost exclusively of fish. The species has a worldwide distribution. It's vision is well adapted to detecting underwater objects from the air. The Osprey was another species effected by DDT use use in the 1950s and 1960s. With the banning of DDT in the 1970s in many countries, the Osprey populations have since made significant recoveries.
