I took a walk in Liberty Park Ledges Area yesterday afternoon. As I was
driving away from the Park north on Liberty Road, I saw an osprey perched in
a tree near a small lake along the road near a housing development. There
was a place to pull off the road. Another osprey was flying overhead; and,
the two birds called to each other. The perched bird was mostly staring at
the lake just below this branch. I did not get to see a fishing dive
attempt. But, it was still nice to watch the bird. I had my binoculars with me.

The small lake is just north of the Willowbrook Housing Development.
You can paste these coordinates into Google Maps to see about where the bird
was perched: 41.347409,-81.418434

Here is a photo of the perched osprey:

---------------------

By the way: This works with Google Maps is quick and easy, and does not need
any add-ons.
1. Move the cursor over the spot you want coordinates for.
2. Right click and select "Directions to here" on pop-up menu.
3. Copy coordinates from "End Address": e.g. 29.199505,-90.041242
4. Paste them back into the "Search Maps" box and click to check position.
