There are three new osprey towers at Monroe Lake. Volunteers from the Monroe Lake Osprey Nest Watch program donated materials and built platforms that were placed atop poles donated and installed gratis by the folks at the Utilities District of Western Indiana (Bloomfield). DNR expects ospreys to return to Monroe Lake in the spring and begin using the new nesting sites. Thanks UDWI and volunteers!
