Betty and I have observed this nest just east of Barkley Dam since late January and there has been one on the nest and another one in a nearby tree everytime we have checked them. The Ospreys have built a nest on the same steel electric pole just east of Barkley Dam where they nested last year and one is on the nest most of the time. The water in the lakes is very high. Water covers part of old 62 between old Kuttawa and and where it runs into the present HIghway 62. Neither one of the dams have any gates open so with all the rain they apparenty intend that the lakes will rise.

Only had binoculars but a scope might reveal more. bpb, can you or anyone else out there provide more info on the current status? willard gray cadiz, ky
