Fri. 11/7/08 - Paul Sylvester, golf course manager, saw TWO Ospreys on new platform. This is great news! They seem to have accepted the nest relocation.
Wed. 11/5/08 - Osprey sitting on light pole where nest used to be. Sure hope they don't want to start building nest back where it used to be.
Mon. 11/3/08 - An Osprey sat on new platform all morning.
Sat. 11/1/08 - Osprey seen on new platform! Cannot tell whether it is male or female.
This is the old Osprey nest that was established some years ago on the light pole next to the practice putting green next at St. Andrews Links Golf Course in Dunedin.
Monk parrots had also nested in the bottom of the nest. This is dangerous for Ospreys because diseases and parasites can be spread to them: that is why it was decided to move the nest to a new pole.
Progress Energy installs new pole and platform.
Workman removes nesting materials from light pole where Ospreys had originally build nest.
The workman adds old nesting materials to new platform. The question now is, will the accept the new location and not start rebuilding at old site.
