Further to yesterday's posting re the above, I met with Barb Puxley (aka
"Mother Osprey") at the nest site this morning, as well as with the Works team
to assess the situation. It was determined that the welfare of the birds will
not be compromised by the present location of the storage container (vs. a
dumpster, my mistake), as it will force any construction equipment to avoid the
nest during the next few weeks until the birds migrate. Barb has also discussed
this with the MNR folks, and the workers/contractors are very clear as to what
precautions need to be taken while doing any work, but they will avoid the nest
between now and migration time. Pls feel free to contact Barb Puxley directly
for further details, she can be reached at [email protected].
