Description
Osprey nesting poles are found throughout coastal Delaware to provide a home for these birds near the water - and away from predators. This particular osprey nest was photographed by Bill Swartwout Photography at the Delaware Seashore State Park on the south side of the Indian River Inlet.
Each year some ospreys build their nests on top of utility poles, buildings, homes and other places that could cause damage to the structures and injure or kill the birds. The building of nesting platforms on poles is an attempt to help protect the wildlife and the local infrastructure.
