Princeton birders are upset by a nest possibly being removed
Princeton birders expressed concern last week after FortisBC allegedly removed an osprey nest near Blackmine Road.
“Debris from a nest can fall on power lines, cause power outages, or fires that can injure or kill ospreys. Such fires can also endanger people and damage our equipment.”“In this case, an osprey had placed some branches on a power pole but had not yet established a nest. “If an osprey manages to build a nest on a live power pole, we obtain the required permit from the Ministry of Forests and then safely remove the nest and move it to an alternate pole with a suitable nesting platform. To date, we’ve installed more than 20 nesting platform poles throughout our service area.”
