During the peak nesting season for ospreys, which runs from April to July, B.C. Hydro has taken proactive measures to ensure the safety of these birds and the reliability of power services. Recently, utility crews relocated two osprey nests in the Williams Lake area to specially designed nesting platforms, moving them away from active power poles where nesting poses significant dangers. The utility highlighted that as ospreys build their nests, the accumulation of sticks can lead to power outages, prompting the need for these relocations. This year, B.C. Hydro has focused on enhancing its management of osprey-related risks by working on 16 nesting platforms, which include relocating existing nests, replacing aging structures, and installing new sites in areas prone to outages caused by ospreys. The importance of early detection and timely relocation is underscored by the birds' tendency to reuse their nests, making it essential for the utility to act quickly during this critical period for the species.
