A few days ago I reported on the dispute between the state of Maryland and a pair of Ospreys over a piece of the Bay Bridge overlooking the traffic below.

With a helping hand from a state carpenter, an osprey couple finally got a home with a view of the water on the eastern end of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
And the Maryland Transportation Authority, which manages the toll facility, finally got the pesky birds to stop nesting in front of cameras that keep an eye on traffic on busy U.S. 50 below.
