Thanks Dennis. I poked around to see if anyone observes and blogs about this nest but was unable to ascertain how many chicks are there this year. Are you aware if there is a wildlife expert or birding community that is "in the know?'

Yep,they just moved it a short distance West. If you are close look you can see the wire mess on the under side of the nest...and the pole has no wires coming or going from it.
Good job Manitoba Hydro.

Dennis is this the nest that Hydo moved from one pole (believe the nest was causing a concern) to another?

Thanks for posting about seeing the Osprey chicks, bcf. :) I haven't been out to the Gimli area yet this summer.

Ran from Winnipeg Beach to Gimli this morning so I had a great view of the nest for a while. There was an adult sitting at the side of the nest and at least one tiny head popping up once in a while.

On my run from Winnipeg Beach to Gimli I was able to have a long look at the Osprey nest near Miklavik. Both adults were at the nest this morning; one lying in a ??brooding position or ??on chicks and the other standing on the edge of the nest. I am not a bird expert by any means but the only time I've ever seen a bird sitting on a nest is when it contains chicks or eggs so I hope that is the case. It's nice to see them back. I'll be running there next week too so will update.
