Title: Osprey nest removed on Anna Maria Island, Florida Post by: AlisonL on 08-Nov-17, 02:00:08 AM Ospreys who have nested for ten years on the steeple of a church on Anna Maria Island have now lost their nest. The church was fumigated, using poisonous gas, and the nest taken down. Poor ospreys. >:(

We’ve watched Osprey nests get blown down by the wind, after nesting season has ended at Iroquois NWR, only to be rebuilt in the spring. They build on tree stumps, in trees, on high wire platforms..very innovative builders.
