Observation of a osprey nest to be discussed
“Ospreys — Life on a Cell Tower” is the title of a presentation by Skagit Audubon Society’s new vice president, John Farnsworth, fellow society member Charles Talman, who spent the summer monitoring an osprey nest atop a cell tower in the Swinomish Village in Skagit County.
The presentation is set for 7 p.m. Oct, 19 via Zoom.
The men spent hours every day observing the ospreys through spotting scopes from across the Swinomish Channel at the garden club’s butterfly garden, atop the hill in La Conner. They’ll share what they discovered, especially in terms of conflicts between eagles, the osprey, and even a peregrine falcon,
