For the birds...

A young osprey sits in a nest atop the U.S. 60 Cumberland Bridge at Smithland. Last year ospreys build 17 nests on area bridges. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and contractors on new bridges over Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley have been working with wildlife and regulatory agencies to provide alternate nesting sites for ospreys who have been nesting in construction areas.
