4:30 p.m. I found this nest platform after researching its location a bit more. I couldn't locate it two weeks ago. It is in the center of very large, flat fields with no river nearby. It is seen/accessed from Island Rd which leads into this broad, agricultural valley. I found the platform completely empty of any nesting materials and the only bird on the structure was a red-winged blackbird. It does not seem that this area would attract osprey as the irrigation ditches and various holding ponds in this valley are covered with algae, full of weeds, and not very full. I doubt these water sources would support the large fish that osprey would want.
