Osprey Platform Finds a Family

Last summer, several outages in Yellowknife and a damaged pole were traced back to an osprey nest on the Bluefish transmission line. After receiving approval from the Department of Environment and Natural Resources, a linecrew moved the nest to a platform that was built nearby.

Earlier this month, we discovered that the platform is being used again this year. NTPC seems to be in the bird housing business!! If you build it, they will come.
