Thanks for the update. Ospreys are also back in their tower nest in Victoria at the Lowry Nature Center. I saw the pair there on Monday night and took some pictures. I imagine the pair will be building up their nest. Fr. Paul

The returning pair is back at the Mississippi Island station and have gotten down to work of mating. I saw an osprey at the Hyland Lake nest. The Twin Cities Osprey Project would appreciate a report of any sightings of osprey. Please report any sightings osprey, including when and where it was seen and what it appeared to be doing (carrying nesting material, flying, perching, etc). The email for reports is jvengl...@threeriversparkdistrict.org. Also, in the Star Tribune today there is an article about the nest that was on a light pole on 169/62 freeway light. Any reports about osprey seen in the extended area would be appreciated. It's speculated they may find a cell phone tower or another tall man made structure to nest on. Please email any reports to 3 Rivers Park. There is a pole down the road on 169 near Valley View Road which hosts an established pair. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
