I've heard from the Coon Rapids osprey specialist who says:
"The Osprey nest in Central park has been there for years. I remember seeing it there at least 5 years ago. The lights and softball activity do not effect the Osprey nesting. We've had an Osprey nest on a light pole for years here in Coon Rapids, on a set of fields similar to Central Park, and the lights are on numerous times a week. They've successfully fledged young every year. People need to relax and chill out; birds are adaptable."

Maybe Roseville Parks have enough money for a stand; with ospreys doing so well now (certainly not a species of concern), forgoing lighting for the athletic fields may not go over all that well with them. I guess if they threw one up now and lit up the fields, this pair might move to it. ---- Join or Leave mou-net: http://lists.umn.edu/cgi-bin/wa?SUBED1=mou-net Archives: http://lists.umn.edu/archives/mou-net.html
