Wells Fargo's Jordan Creek campus is home to a nesting pair of Osprey

I believe 2016 was the 2nd year that this pair had shown up at the site.  Wells Fargo got permission from the city of West Des Moines to erect a 55 foot pole to encouraging nesting.  I had read about this but had the occasion to be out near it yesterday and here are pictures.  I'm also including a link to the Iowa DNR if you want to see pictures and read more about it.  In 2016, Iowa reported 25 nesting pairs of Osprey.
