The buoy is still grounded on the bank of the river south of the Port administration building. No one knows for how long. Can anyone solve . . . Port staff had to figure this out recently. The ospreys promptly moved back.
Ospreys like to build their nests near water, in the tallest place they can find.
The light poles at the North Port wharf are the tallest structures on Port property. A taller location for the nest was needed. The contractor repairing damage to the North Port wharf came to the rescue. It is taller than the light poles and has a wire mesh platform at the top the perfect location for an osprey nest. Port staff hope that as soon as the ospreys realize there is a loftier location for their nest, they will relocate.
