View on Terrain360 Videos Gallery Location

This osprey nest at the top of a tree is the best spot to see a nest from land in the park. This area is a popular spot for ospreys, great blue herons, bald eagles, cormorants, and gulls, as it is an easy place to catch fish. Owls are common as well, with great horned owls being one of the biggest predators of osprey chicks during the nesting season.
