We took the back roads on the way home from my cousins farm tonight and discovered this contraption built on top of the power lines. At the top was a large nest with two birds of prey inside. At the time we didn't know what they were although they looked a bit like hawks. We looked them up in a bird book when we got home and are now pretty sure that they were ospreys.

When we first stopped the car to take pictures, one of the birds took off with some prey in its talons. It looked like a fish but it was hard to be sure. The other bird flew above us for a bit presumably to see if we were a threat. It seemed to decide that we weren't so it flew back to the nest.

We're wondering who would have built this contraption and if it's there specifically for the osprey or if they've just taken over. There were no other contraptions like this on any of the other power line poles so we're guessing that it was there for the birds.
