Hello Tweeters,
This is in response to the question that was asked as to why there seem to
be many more Osprey nesting platforms in eastern Washington than in the
Seattle area. I can’t speak for the rest of eastern Washington, but in
Chelan County, maintaining Osprey nests is part of the responsibilities of
the Fish and Wildlife department of Chelan County PUD. As of last July,
CCPUD maintained 56 Osprey platforms in the county. Here is a page from
their web site that tells a bit about it.
