Osprey Chick Falls 90 Feet

On Monday evening, April 23rd, an osprey chick, about 4 weeks old, fell out of his nest on the light standards at the East Lake Youth Sports Complex.  The lights are approximately 90 feet tall. 

He'll get a check up by a wildlife veterinarian Tuesday morning and then most likely be put back in the nest with his family.  A cursory check indicated that he was no worse for the wear and the cuteness alert is just off the scale!

A big thanks to Dave Rothaug who was coaching at the field tonight for alerting us to the situation.
