It's got to be Chuck Henny and co-workers looking for this information. I know
they've been calling around in the last week or two. He'll no doubt get lots
of location from the WDFW database (but many of the records will be of unknown
recent activity since WDFW hasn't been doing surveys of osprey nests lately).

I can think of an osprey nest on a cell tower near Mud Bay and a couple of nests
on the big transmission towers that cross the bay north of Allyn. Away from
the Puget Sound shoreline, there are many more, including nests on light standards
at Borst Park baseball field in Centralia and another at the High School football
field in Rochester.
