All OspreyWatch Nests

3/27/18 - I noticed the nesting material was removed. I went over to the tower area and found contractors working there. They said they have had a permit for 9 months and had the clear to go to replace antennae's on the tower. Nolan, whom I spoke with, said yesterday, the nest was there and when he started working on replacing antennae's, it fell down. He said he plans to put it back up the best that he can. He said he would put some 2x4's up to support, we'll see if that happens. Anyway, he did take photos before he started work, as you will see in this email. He was also told this was not nesting season and that it began in the summer. I told him that it begins now with the building of the nest, and ya can't have eggs until ya have a nest to put them in. I will continue to stay in touch with him and educate him on the life of an osprey. Maybe he will see them in a different light. I will keep an eye on the nest site, Nolan says the work should be completed by the end of this week. Hopefully so. May activity reported, but I don't see where I entered that. at this point, I believe, it was May 13 2013 that I saw 2 birds. 2 birds June 15 2013 2 birds July 17 2013 4 Birds July 17 2014
