10. They have a nest on a power pole

out on the edge of center field that they built themselves! Sometimes Canada geese will use the nest early in the season and when the geese get done using it, the osprey move back in just in time for baseball. I don’t know why they circle the field during games but they do. They are quite the celebrities! The Clark Fork river runs right by the stadium so the osprey have dinner out their back door. Missoula is the city where A River Runs Through It. It’s really fun. The bummer is that corporate management of the team wants to change the name from the Osprey to something else. Such a disappointment. We’ve been the Osprey for 20 years.
