After:

In Tampa Bay, Florida a male osprey began building a nest to attract a mate but he chose a railroad signal tower as his ideal location.  It looked good to him, but it was a big problem for the railroad.

Fortunately volunteers from the Audubon Society of Clearwater Florida had a better idea.  Watch the video to see how they worked with CSX to move the osprey’s nest.

Would the osprey accept the new location?  You bet!   Moving Day was a success.  Here he is perched at his new home.

Now all he has to do is unpack the sticks.  From Kate's Blog!

Remember when I harrassed BGE all winter about my Osprey nests - got two of them!
