Hello all, I just wanted to tell about a very very large Osprey nest I saw in Silverthorne. The nest is along Highway 9 (AKA Blue River Pkwy) as you drive North towards the golf course, near Golden Eagle Rd. It sits on top of a power pole on the west side of the road, and is very obvious as it sits around 3 to 4 feet tall and is nearly that big across. Yesterday, (Monday) I witnessed 3 Ospreys feeding on the nest at about 2:30PM. The nest is noteworthy due to the immensity of it. I'm sure birders in the area are aware of it, but I just wanted more birders to be able to see this. Does anyone know the history of this nest? How many years has it been used, and has it housed different species of raptors in past years? I think that it is the largest bird nest I have ever seen! Thanks!
