Is there any oversight of these nests to prevent public intrusion and remove any dangerous materials in the nests? Hello, DEP & USF&W! Meredith Sampson Old Greenwich -- drewclan@aol.com wrote: Hi! Counted #64 Osprey in one sweep this morning at the Smith Neck overlook. Lots and lots of little chicks sitting up and getting fed. Unfortunately, also had one dead Osprey hanging off its nest by a length of fishing line wrapped around the neck?(at the nest between marked?#4 and #5). There is significantly more impact by fishermen, paddlers, and shore walkers out on Great Island this time of year.
