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.

OspreyWatch is managed by The Center for Conservation Biology. The project was developed in an attempt to bring together a global community of observers to collect information for the common good. The project is unfunded and, as such, has been created and managed by unpaid staff and volunteers. Please help support the dedicated individuals who maintain the project.
