Description
An original pole from a trans-Atlantic communication facility that was converted into an osprey nest platform. Pole was cut and a nestbox was added in 2017. This location was updated to reflect the accurate location of the closest platform. This location used to be for a nest on a utility pole, until the nest was removed after it caught fire several times.
