I don't know if this sighting is related but 2 weeks ago I was stopped at
the intersection of US 422 and SR 88 in Parkman, Geauga County. I was
wondering what the heck an Osprey was doing there coursing low over the
treetops when it suddenly dropped down and grabbed a dead branch sticking
out from the top of a tree. It failed to break off the branch to add to its
nest but that answered my question. I don't know how far it is from Parkman
to Munson Twp.

Subject: [Ohio-birds] another osprey nest for Geauga County

Well, as far as I know anyway, a nest osprey nest.  Sightings of an osprey
at Bass Lake prompted investigation by Bass Lake resident Chris Parker.
Two nearby cell towers were suspect.  Indeed nest was found today on the top
deck of the cell tower located in the ODOT yard across from the Geauga YMCA
on Bass Lake Road, just north of US 322 in Munson Twp., Geauga County.
Adult bird was present on the tower as well.  Nest contents not seen.
