Look Out For Those Osprey Nests on Power Poles The nesting habits of some birds can cause lots of damage. In fact, NorthWestern Energy is asking the public's help in spotting large osprey nests on power poles in Montana. Much like the photo above, the large bird constructs large nests, with can cause power outages, fires and puts the birds in danger of being electrocuted. By the way, the photo above is at the KLYQ radio tower on the north edge of Hamilton and is not of electrocution danger. Osprey have been living there for years safely, yet "flight school" for the youngsters seems a little risky that high up.
