For the past two years, osprey have nested on a cell phone tower that is just south of the hamlet of Covert, on the east side of Rte 96.  When I looked earlier this year, the nest seemed to be missing but I didn't stop and check carefully until today.  There may be a few remnant sticks, I'm not sure, but certainly the main structure is gone.  A lone osprey was sitting on the tower, don't know if the mate also is back or if they will try to rebuild it.

Anyone know what happened to the nest?  Did it blow down (seems unlikely since it was well-nestled in the various girders) or was it removed?
