The Osprey Hath Returneth!

Capture-----iiii

It looks like the mighty osprey will have the best seat in the house this season for the unveiling of the new Silver Lining Ampitheater at the Washington County Fair. A heap of sticks in the form of a nest can be seen atop the U.S. Cellular tower overlooking the Fair Park.
Osprey have been making a nest there since 2011. A neighbor called in an eagle sighting about a week ago. There was a bald eagle spotted in March on the side of Highway 45 just a stone’s throw from the Eisenbahn State Trail about 2 miles north of County Highway D.
Most likely the bird in the nest will be an osprey. Give a shout or chime in if you see something.

Next year we should work with U.S. Cellular and put a camera up there. ‘What a marvelous idea,’ said everyone.
