As our KEEP Lake Barkley, KY osprey nest viewers are aware, we lost all three 
of our on camera osprey chicks over three nights, June 11-13, almost certainly 
due to great horned owl predation. We have kept our camera Internet service on 
to date to confirm that both osprey adults are healthy and still visiting the 
cam nest daily and defending their nesting territory successfully, at least 
during the day. This accomplished, KEEP will be turning our live Internet 
osprey nest viewing off for the remainder of this nesting season at our KEEP 
web site: http://keepky.org/index.html 
 
KEEP volunteers constructed six all steel osprey platform "kits" 
including support pipes for KDFWR for placement at Lake Barkley this 
year. Thankfully, fewer ghos patrol the more mid-lake areas where the majority 
of our Lake Barkley, KY osprey platforms are located.
