I saw my first osprey at Kempsville Lake today! I work at an office adjoining the lake and enjoy watching them every year. I don’t, however know where they nest.
I do have a question regarding taking down osprey nests. I observed one being torn apart atop a cell tower. I call the state office (DGIF, I think) and was told “well the opsrey have all fledged here.” What to do if I observe this again?
Response – Osprey nests can be removed legally once the breeding season is over. DGIF does have a published set of guidelines for removing Osprey nests.
Thank you.
