I build this platform in 1999 in front of my house on Dymer Creek (Lat 37-40.804N, Lo 076-22.903W), White Stone, Virginia, USA. A pair of ospreys took it over the in the spring of 2000. This pair has come back every year but only a couple of nestings fledged. Most years the young were killed by great horned owls. In 2011 both the female and the young were killed by owls. The male found a new mate within several weeks and this pair has just come back to the nest for the 2013 season. This nest is one of about 15 active osprey nests on Dymer Creek and one of around 50 within a 7 nm radius. In 2015, two ospreys fledged from this nest.
