Hi jane CU pond near airport/ intersection of Snyder & Cherry Roads - you can drive in north driveway of Equine center to fence , park in side , out of roadway, & walk south along fence till you are near osprey nest tower.
Other ponds by Niemi rd are easily seen right by road, but last I looked there is no osprey tower there. Niemi rd can be good birding sometimes. I used to live in the house on the north side of the part of Niemi rd west of Hanshaw rd.

I just googled these ponds and hope to go birding there if it’s permitted. I never hear of it as a birding destination so I bet it’s very limited to the public.

I wonder, is there an Osprey nest somewhere in SSW?
