Osprey Nest
This breeding pair of ospreys has been maintaining this nest on the banks of Newnans Lake for quite some time. They must know what they're doing; this particular nest has withstood the effects of two hurricanes (Francis & Jean) that blew through this part of the state a couple years ago. It won't be long before this old nest becomes home for a new generation. I plan to document their growth as best I can from ground level.

Uh .... that might be a good idea, then again maybe not. It's just a hunch but I suspect Mr. and Mrs. Osprey wouldn't like any naked apes climbing any trees near their nest.
Like I said; it's just a hunch, but seeing how Mr. Osprey buzzed the turkey vultures the other day, scattering a few of them off the tree I'm not so sure I'd like to be in that situation - unless it was enclosed; that way they wouldn't know anyone was there - so long as entry and exit was made in the dark.
BTW: This nest is ~65+ feet (~20+ meters) straight up a dead tree. If someone is wanting to get on their level and have a clean shot to the nest they will also have to be at least that high on a dead tree (hmmm ... ???).
Ciao!

Osprey Nest
RE: Naked Ape:
It was the title of a book on anthropology written by Desmond Morris, published in the late '60s. Since then there have been several books that have (how you say?) borrowed the concept.
