A pair of ospreys make themselves at home in their new nest adjacent to the mainside Wastewater Treatment Plant. After ospreys attempted to nest directly on the wires, which caused the death of at least one bird, two power failures and equipment damage, Facilities Maintenance Section workers built and installed an elevated perch for the birds to nest on in the same location. It took less than two days for the birds to start building the nest atop the perch after it was placed.
