There is a bridge on Treasure Island where I live and 2 osprey set up a nest on the tallest pylon 2 years ago. So the city moved the nest last summer to a bit lower pylon off to the side of the bridge. We drove over the bridge an hour ago and BOTH osprey parents were on the nest! They accepted the new spot and everyone is happy. Love them
