Friant Road Ospreys 2021

Dale Matson

Gravel mining has gone on along Friant Road for several years. It is along the course of the San Joaquin River. There have been several ponds created and the wildlife have made many homes in the area. Fisherfolk fish the ponds and so do a pair of Ospreys. They have a nest near one of the ponds.

It is a bit of a walk in from parking along Friant Road but the birds let you sit fairly close to the nest. I hope to return when there are nestlings.
