KELSEYVILLE
Dedication ceremony for educational signs
The public and families are invited to join a free dedication ceremony for two new Osprey educational signs installed at Lakeside County Park in Kelseyville. The signs are near the new Osprey nest pole erected last February by the Redbud Audubon Society.
The pole replaced a diseased tree where an Osprey pair had nested for many years. Redbud Audubon purchased and installed the pole with a $10,000 grant from Calpine Corporation to Redbud’s ongoing Osprey Fund.
Because the pole is in an open area in the center of the park, visible from all directions, the Board of Supervisors Fish & Wildlife Advisory Committee approved $5,000 for Redbud Audubon to commission a colorful Ospreys interpretive panel explaining this interesting species. Often called the “Fish Hawk,” Osprey dive for fish in Clear Lake and bring them to the nest to feed the family during the months of incubating and parenting several chicks.
The 30-minute dedication on Saturday will start at 10 a.m. and will be followed by refreshments. It is a free event. Redbud Audubon encourages the public to attend and celebrate these nature education gifts to Lake County.
