PLUGGED IN TO COWLITZ PUD
By Alice Dietz, Cowlitz PUD Comunications/ Public Relations Manager
Eighth Season of Cowlitz PUD Osprey Cam Begins!

In partnership with Brian Magnuson, Cowlitz PUD’s live-feed osprey camera is now in its eighth season. The camera focuses on a platform Cowlitz PUD built more than 20 years ago near a utility pole to provide a safe nesting alternative from our energized power lines.
The osprey migrated from their winter home and arrived in Cowlitz County in late March. The female osprey typically lays three eggs in late April and the eggs will hatch in early June.

Having reconnected with Marge’s son Allan has also been delightful. He and his wife, Nancy, live in Bend,Oregon. They are subscribers to the Reader. I even purchased Allan’s two published books.
I’m very pleased to re-connect with a woman from my past who is still alive and thriving. Happy Birthday, Marge!
