Save the Ocean Beach Osprey tower

Save our Osprey. Save Ocean Beach group is seeking to take the osprey tower down to convert it into a clock tower.Meeting 9/4/2012 at the Parks & Rec.meeting between 5-7.

The Save Ocean Beach group have done many wonderful things for the beach. It's sad for the osprey and the people that enjoy the Ocean Beach Osprey if this group is allowed to take down the Osprey nesting tower. The Save Ocean Beach group would like to take the Osprey tower down and try to relocate it for a clock tower on the boardwalk.We don't think it's worth the risk of loosing the osprey forever.  The Osprey have come back to this same nesting site for decades. Other birds also nest within the osprey nest!Does anyone think it would be a great idea to raise funds to install a web-cam to watch the Ocean Beach Ospey? Many groups have done this. Look up Osprey web cams on the web-site! Many groups celebrate the return of the ospry every March!We would support Save Ocean Beach for a new clock tower. We ask they please reconsider and leave the osprey tower alone. Some of the Save Ocean Beach group members will be seeking permission to take the osprey tower down on  9/4/2012 at an Education, Parks & Recreation Committee meeting between 5-7, prior to the City Council meeting.Please write or show up to show your support for the osprey..Please leave the osprey tower alone!
