They will chase away other Ospreys that encroach on their nesting areas. Nesting Ospreys defend only the immediate area around their nest rather than a larger territory. Many people provide nesting platforms, which birds readily take. Ospreys now nest on channel markers, communication towers, and utility poles. Some ospreys have nested within 10 miles of a body of water.Īreas near water have become prime real estate reducing the number of available nesting sites. Good nesting sites are emerging dead or live trees or other structures with easy access located near rivers, lakes, bays, reservoirs, lagoons, swamps, and marshes. Ospreys nest in a wide variety of habitat types. Where do Ospreys nest? Typical Osprey nesting habitat. After the banning of DDT in 1972, osprey populations rebounded. The population of ospreys dropped drastically from the early 1950s to the 1970s. Nesting in North America, ospreys spend the winter in the southern United States, Central, and South America. As the name suggests, ospreys feed almost exclusively on fish, and although they are incapable of swimming, they dive into the water to catch fish from heights of up to 90 feet. Associated with shorelines and various bodies of water, ospreys’ large nests can be observed readily from afar. I’m sure people who are able to find the sets early will have a very limited edition set on their hands and the secondary market for it will be extremely astronomical.Ospreys, scientifically known as Pandion haliaetus, are one of the most popular birds in North America. It’s pretty embarrassing on LEGO’s part with nobody speaking up during the design process that the Osprey was mainly used as a military plane.

The German Peace Society denounced LEGO for the release due to it being a military plane even though it was designed to be a search and rescue plane and there were protests scheduled in Germany because of it. I would expect a few mom and pop type shops to receive a shipment but larger retailers will be less likely. Our sales teams have been in touch with their customers as well. There are going to be some stores that have already received stock but LEGO Stores should never receive stock.

We appreciate that some fans who were looking forward to this set may be disappointed, but we believe it’s important to ensure that we uphold our brand values. While the set clearly depicts how a rescue version of the plane might look, the aircraft is only used by the military. We have a long-standing policy not to create sets which feature real military vehicles, so it has been decided not to proceed with the launch of this product. The LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey was designed to highlight the important role the aircraft plays in search and rescue efforts. LEGO has just released a statement regarding the set which you can read below. Yesterday, I reported that the upcoming release of the LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey (42113) was potentially cancelled and it looks like it has been confirmed.
