Hi Rob...
Your question about the osprey nest was forwarded to me. I am a wildlife
technician who wowrks on the Twin Cities Osprey Project...I have been watching
the same behavior. I assume you are talking about the nest along Hwy 51 between
Noerenberg Gardens and the Mtka Art center. It is a bit odd. It is very common
for an osprey to build a "frustration nest" when their nest fails...but that
nest successfully produced two chicks. And if they were disturbed on their
nest, why would they build another one so close? Originally that pair DID build
a nest on the power pole that they are now reoccupying...and we, along with
Xcel Energy, put up the nesting platform across the road for them to divert
them from a potentially dangerous situation. They have nested for two years
successfully on the nest pole we errected. I do not think its the juveniles
that are doing it...it is most likely the male...tho I have not caught him in
the act.
I am sure Xcel will take it down shortly to prevent shorting out the lines, and
we will recommend that they retrofit the pole to prevent further activity like
this.
That male has been a hard one to please...he tried nesting in two other
locations prior to the current one.
We do need people to report their observations about osprey activity in the 8
county metro area to us...especially if you find a new nest being built. We
have 52 active nests in the metro area this year...produced 96 chicks and we
banded 87 of them.
Do keep me posted...
Thanks for keeping your eyes open...
