Ozona Fl Ospreys to Lose Their Waterfront Digs!
The Ozona Fl Ospreys seem to have it made – and I’m not referring to the the Ozona Elementary School Ospreys which are a neat flock, too.
Ozona locals know that Ospreys are big beautiful birds abundant in Pinellas County – and they have this super cute tendency to build their nests on man-made 
structures if all the trees are occupied – including on top of boat masts, business signs and light poles. These nests are HUGE and HEAVY- 2′ x 3′ or larger, and sometimes they need to be moved (see pic).
Our buds in the nest at HomePort Key Marina are getting new digs (a pole and platform) soon on The Pinellas Trail courtesy of the Clearwater Audibon Society. While I’m sure this is better for the birds, I myself, might be a little peeved about losing my slice of waterfront Ozona Fl real estate.
I can’t figure out how one convinces a bird to stay in a new nest? Maybe install cable? Ozona is for the birds, after all.
Oh God, I can’t stop … I’m turning into such a bird nut – you have to check this cute site out – the live Dunedin Osprey CAM. This monitors the nest at the St. Andrews Golf Links on Alt. 19 in Dunedin 24/7. Don’t they get whacked with golf balls from the driving range?!
Pinellas County living is just too much fun. ~ Julia
