But today, while going southbound on 494 I saw a bird deep in the nest showing dark and white plumages. But it looked smaller than an eagle. And much of it was obscured.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>One half hour later while heading northbound I saw an osprey perched in full view on one of the outer branches of that same tree or possibly the one just west of it.. Looks like some new tenants are moving in.</div><div><br data-mce-bogus="1"></div><div>Don Grussing</div><div>Minnetonka</div></div></body></html>
