Observation details
Fledged juvenile continues to use the tower nest while an adult is often seen near by but not always. Juvie was on the nest then flew to a high voltage tower (though didn't see it leave or land on the tower because it left the nest while I was searching for an accompanying adult) & joined an adult there that flew off soon after (didn't catch it leaveing though it was located flying east over Palm, PA). That the Osprey remaining on the tower was the juvie was confirmed by photos (attached) taken from Lesher Mill Rd. As per comments, stationary at Stauffer Rd by PA Rt 29 then stationary on Lesher Mill Rd approx 0.2 mile from start. The 2nd point was used to determine the development of the Osprey (whether a juvie or an adult).
