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 .

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?
