Our 2021 osprey season has officially come to an end. The last juvenile and parent I was watching left between Oct 2 and 6. Oh how we will miss them.
Now our attention turns to osprey nestpole issues! A nest on ball field lights was removed when the lights were permanently removed. I worked with the city of Plymouth, the Wayzata School District and Kilmer electric to get a new nestpole put up to accomodate those ospreys next year. Today we got the new pole set! Many thanks to the organizations listed above as well as Perry Westphal for all their good work today helping me make this happen! Thanks also to J.D. Kittleson for donating the nestbox some time ago, we finally found a good home for it! We will return and fill the nestbox with sticks and put up a predator guard in the near future so these ospreys will have a fully furnished home to return to!
It takes a village! I appreciate all those who voiced their feelings, and who pitched in to help us out so we could create a permanent home for those Ospreys!
