For the past few years, Westporters have marveled at the ospreys that live between Fresh Market and Terrain.

    Way cool – wildlife is so very soothing for the soul.

    I’m still amazed that these guys nested over a busy and noisy place like the post road in Westport. But, “When in Rome, do as … ” perhaps?

      I have seen nests in Florida on poles at the side of major roadways. All the birds seem to care about is a large enough platform and proximity to fishing grounds. They are also in people’s backyards.
