A good friend of mine pulled some strings and secured a power pole. Today another good friend and his brother backed in their auger/pole truck, dug the hole and planted the pole. I’m hopeful that when the Osprey pair return to this platform they will accept it and start adding branches to it.
This is a young pair about 4 years old. If all goes well for them, they will be producing chicks at this very platform for the next 30+ years. They mate for life.
I’ll keep you all posted when they arrive. Which should be in approximately 3 weeks or April 1st.
