Osprey Nest Relocation Project in Espanola

By Rosalind Russell – Espanola Hydro has secured some new housing for ospreys at the south end of town.

According to the release, back in 2014, ospreys began nesting on a hydro power pole at the intersection of McCulloch Drive and Highway Six.

To protect them, a temporary platform was installed across the street and has attracted photography buffs throughout the years.

The original platform deteriorated, so the utility built a new platform last week to ensure the nest’s safety.

With spring on its way, the public is now anticipating the return of the birds.
