| Hoffman crew helps move the platform pole. |
From Carol Otis:
"With the permission of Williams Dame Development Corporation and the work of Hoffman Construction Company, the osprey platform pole was moved Dec 1, from its 2011 site on Portland City property, to the adjacent land parcel privately owned by Williams Dame Development Corporation."
Moving a 40 foot, 8 ton steel platform and pole is no small task!
2. The osprey now have their own Facebook page: www.facebook.com/OspreySociety
They also have a new live osprey cam, available via this UStream channel: www.ustream.tv/channel/osprey-society
3. And last but not least, the osprey have returned from their annual Mexican vacation! I received a note today: "First ospreys seen around SWF today March 25 @ 9:30 am!" Check out the live osprey cam for to see the latest.
