Yeah, that tree was dead and I’m surprised it held up as long as it did.
The nest I saw the ospreys take over was on a platform with no shade at all. I stopped watching that year. I don’t know when this nest was built with a cam set in place. It looks new. The owls seemed to like it tonight since it’s in a tree and not out in the wide open. Fingers crossed!
I think this past season was the first year in the new location. I watched the ospreys and noticed that there was more life to this tree. I’m not sure when they built the nest...but I’m guessing between the 2018 and 2019 season.
Guess I’d better head out. See ya tomorrow night for some tunes!
