Avalon and Stone Harbor Weekly Update April 18, 2019

April 18, 2019 By Bill and Kay Leahy


Ospreys are back in the area!  Most osprey nests are far enough to make it a challenge to view them up close, such as the one above, located behind Stone Harbor.


For an up close view check out the osprey nest adjacent to Avalon Boulevard where it enters Avalon!  The Avalon water tower is visible in the background.

FROM EAGLES TO OSPREYS!  During the winter months eagles were frequently observed around the Island, and often perched atop utility poles on Stone Harbor Boulevard.  In the past couple of weeks ospreys have returned to the Island and have taken to their familiar nests atop man-made structures located in back bay areas.  Many are quite a distance from land, but the nest adjacent to Avalon Boulevard offers a close-up view of the ospreys residing in it every time you enter or leave Avalon!

ALSO RETURNING to the Island at this time of year are seagulls!  The common “Laughing Gull” is a frequent sight in our area, but there are numerous other types of gulls, plus, they often have different plumage depending upon their maturity and whether they are of breeding age.  Check out this guide to gulls, which contains information on how to identify different gulls, plus their behavior and life patterns:  https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Laughing_Gull/id

MARKET STATS:  27 properties sold during the month of March, 2019, an increase over last March.  The median sale price during March was $1,920,000.  For a detailed look at the market check out the latest Long & Foster Market Minute report:

FLOODED STREETS?  NO WAKE!  Stone Harbor is the latest shore town to consider “no wake” rules for automobiles traversing flooded streets, designed to limit damage caused by automobile wakes pushing flood waters further toward homes and businesses than they would otherwise travel.  North Wildwood and Ship Bottom (on Long Beach Island) have already adopted similar ordinances.  For more see this article: https://whyy.org/articles/shore-town-considers-imprisonment-for-motorists-generating-large-waves-during-flooding/

BULK TRASH will be picked up in both Avalon & Stone Harbor on the following dates:  Avalon—place items curbside from May 3 to May 12th; pickup begins at 7am, Monday, May 13th (no construction or remodeling debris will be collected.)  Stone Harbor—pick up occurs on Monday, May 13th; place items curbside up to 72 hours prior.

HAPPY EASTER to you and your family!
