It is interesting some of the nest sites the raptors choose . You all remember the goose tub Eagles at Kildeer Plains. That was a sight . ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carole Babyak" <[log in to unmask]> To: <[log in to unmask]> Sent: Wednesday, July 07, 2010 12:36 PM Subject: [Ohio-birds] Raptor nests One thought on Osprey nests in cell towers and other man-made structures: Many of the Ospreys released in Ohio came from Langley Air Force Base - VA - near Washington DC. They were nesting on the flight lights which was dangerous to the jets and the Ospreys. These young hatched-out with jets taking off and landing beside them, so they are not bothered by trucks, cars and motor boats. Perhaps it will take a few generations to seek natural nest sites. Another question on the subject: Do they nest in natural sites on the east coast? I've seen pictures of Opreys nests on bouys etc. Have they adapted to man-made structures out of convenience?
