Description
The Forge and Millers, rear power pole had an old pallet for a nest box. Pallet broke and fell during March 2026 storm. The pair has begun a nest on the power pole just in front of old site. No nest platform so nest material is collecting on a live pole with transformer. The city is aware. Team Osprey has consulted to assist with repair but no solution as of 3-29-26. UPDATE: Nest platform appears to have been repaired or replace, with the addition of a perch bar, and the nest appears to have increased some in size.

| Note: | It appears pallet has been repaired or replaced and a support bar was placed on the pallet, so osprey can perch. Today, April 6, 2026, the nest appears to be a little bigger. We're assuming the pair is fixing it up. We have seen one in the nest and one circling several days ago. | ||||||
