Here are photos of the SFEC’s 2010 Osprey project.
Here is the installation process.

And here is the work party of almost a dozen SFEC members.

Here is a picture of our supervision!

This is a photo of last year’s nest. Note the baby bird on the left side of the platform.

This may be the very best photo, taken one day after installation. It shows an Osprey already on the platform with nesting material, getting ready for next year. Pretty neat!

We installed two platforms this year. Both are showing signs of having a family on them next year. This brings the total of SFEC platforms to ten, with seven occupied this year and surely nine next year. We have just one “non-productive” platform – on the railroad bed right across the bay from Twisties.
