Nest is in Frenchman Canyon approx. one mile below the dam on the east side of the road. It is on a side branch about 15 feet below the top of a 90 foot dead Jeffery Pine, and on the same ridge line as Nest #1069 which blew down this past winter.

Nest is located between I-80 EB and the Truckee River, accessible from West 4th Street west of Reno, NV. This appears to be a first year nest, on a power pole just above a large transformer.

2013: This pair has been the first pair of osprey back on the James between Presquile Island and Osborne Landing. This morning (March 2, while passing the channel marker at 6:40am, I saw an osprey on the marker. 2014: First osprey back on the James in the Jefferson's Reach area again … third year in a row! March 2, 2014 about 7:30am.

Great nest. A tree fell and had a bunch of old vines, which the osprey built on. the vines and branches of the nest have combined into one, or at least visually, so it looks like this 10 foot tall nest, with a huge tree going straight through it at a 4

Newer nest observed over the past two years on the cross beams of a large power line and located approximately 1.5 miles north of nest #1569 and at about mile 135.5 of Rte.#95. Could it be offspring of nest #1569?

This new nest is approximately 100 yards south of Nest 1067 which was active this season, then abandoned. The new site was being used by the 1067 pair as a perch/feeding tree before 1067 was abandoned, so I suspect that for some unknown reason they left the one nest and started this new one.
