Bird facts and observations: osprey nests on man-made platforms and structures...
Osprey birds of prey have made a steady comeback from the great decline of the 50's and 60's. They're now competing for any habitat. In Florida, where urbanization has imposed (and is imposing) its priorities over environmental concerns, ospreys have managed rather well coping
in a world shaped by humans... So it comes as no surprise that they will not only make use
of assembled wood skeletons, electricity poles, the center concave of giant floodlights
high above sports arenas, but even rooftops and on tubing across highways.
