Title: Re: Osprey in the Nations Capital Post by: valhalla on 10-May-11, 05:01:49 AM Because this project includes the Interstate Highway System (I-295 and I-395), we are all Spending our Federal Tax Dollars on that idle crane.

Biologists are exploring the possibility of building an elevated platform near the crane to serve as a nesting spot for the migratory birds when they return in future seasons. The 10-to-20 foot structure would have a box or basket on top capable of supporting a 200-pound nest http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-buzz/post/ospreys_on_crane_may_get_new_home/2011/05/11/AFzcrcqG_blog.html?wprss=the-buzz (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-buzz/post/ospreys_on_crane_may_get_new_home/2011/05/11/AFzcrcqG_blog.html?wprss=the-buzz) Title: Re: Osprey in the Nations Capital Post by: valhalla on 15-May-11, 08:36:06 AM "Future Seasons", which equates to the Fools on the Hill wasting your Federal Dollars for a few more weeks (I-395 and I-295 - this is a huge heavy equipment contrustion zone). This nest should have been moved 2 weeks ago, as this is not a good place to fledge young. AND I LOVE the Osprey!
