Field Notes

Description:

small baby ospreys

Habitat:

The Osprey readily builds its nest on manmade structures, such as telephone poles, channel markers, duck blinds, and nest platforms designed especially for it. Such platforms have become an important tool in reestablishing Ospreys in areas where they had disappeared. In some areas nests are placed almost exclusively on artificial structures.

Notes:

Osprey nests are built of sticks and lined with bark, sod, grasses, vines, algae, or flotsam and jetsam.
