The ospreys have landed. We repeat, the ospreys have landed — and they’re using their new nest platforms.
Before the Georgia Department of Transportation removed the nests piled on the peaks of Boling Bridge, it erected two 65-foot nest platforms within sight of the fish-eating hawks’ former home. As spring approached this year, people have snapped pictures of the birds investigating the nest platforms, and on Wednesday, March 21, GDOT ferried The Times to the platforms from Little Hall Park.
