The final stages of the rescue operation took place first thing this morning (5/5/2021).
Tri-County Tree Service owner Brad and his climber Dan with coordination from his awesome secretary Rebecca Hyche took pride in the safe recovery of the Osprey. After a quick assessment of the situation at hand a plan was developed to climb the tree and remove 3 limbs. The first to go was the lower limb below the osprey. Second the one above. Then after tying off the limb the osprey was entangled on it was cut and slowly lowered to the ground where Brad and Michael Dufour were waiting. Chris Dufour was taking pictures of the operation while being overseen by Department of Natural Resources.
