Congrats on your first osprey!

Looks like the guy in the cell phone tower by the church.
I was up there a few weeks ago. This is the second nest they have built there. The first was down lower on the "platform" kind of area about halfway up. The nest was torn down by Rogers employees and chicken wired over.
I'm glad they have managed to avoid further eviction.
Nice capture.

Will osprey go back to the same place to nest even the nest was destroyed before? Just wonder because there was a nest for osprey @Grand river, it was kind of destroyed and we went back to check and there no osprey this year.
