Thank you. I e-mailed Roseville Parks and Recreation via their Web site, pointing out that nesting ospreys are as much of an asset (and source of pride) as functional baseball lights, and hoping that they simply wouldn't use the lights until the young have flown -- assuming they're even

I saw the birds and nest construction on Easter Sunday.I was going to ask the group if this was an old site -- I see that it is not. The nest is on an outfield light tower between the two eastern-most baseball fields, east of Victoria. So what happens now? Does the DNR have a policy
