The Osprey have returned to their nesting site on the
Bloomington Rd./404 Cell Tower. Both male and female
were sitting on the top of the tower yesterday morning.
For this year I first observed an Osprey at the tower last
Thursday, April 7th.
The Osprey may have difficulty setting up a new nest on
the top of the tower because it appears the tower owners
over the late fall/winter months removed the previous nest
material and put meshing/wiring of some sort to hinder any
future nest building. The same thing has been done on the
Bethesda Rd/404 Cell Tower as well. Last year a 2nd pair of
Osprey set up a nest there as well.
