Platform was installed 100' off a rural roadway within a protected wetland by Quinte Conservation on February 09, 2012. There is another platform 2km due south of this location that successfully raised two young in the summer of 2011. I am very hopeful that I will see my first Osprey residents in April 2012.

Nest 427 Kent Lake Colony
Substrate: live and dead trees
Added by Julio about 9 years ago
Last activity: about 9 years ago
Kent Lake has supported a colony since the mid-1960s. I started monitoring 11 nests in 1981; the colony peaked in the mid-1990s at ~50 active nests and has since plateaued at about 25-30 active nests each year. In 2008 a pair of Bald Eagles established a nest and have produced young each subsequent year. Ospreys have continued to sustain about 25-30 active nests each year. Of 41 nest sites identified in 2012, seven nests (17.1%) were unused, 34 (82.9%) were classified as occupied and 27 (65.9%) were classified as active.

A large nest on top of a light pole at the Bryant Park (Albany, OR) softball fields. This nest was first noticed by my wife Carol in 1996. The lights on this pole, which serve 2 adjoining softball fields, are held by horizontal brackets, providing an "accidental" platform.

A pair of osprey have built a nest atop a local cell tower. They did this before a few years back, but the phone company evicted them. I am curious if the family of osprey that is there now is descendant from the pair that nested there before.
