Love My Boat....Unfortunately So Do Ospreys

[Breakaway]

Every time I use the boat in the spring I have to remove the beginnings of an Osprey nest from the roof of the boat. You would think they would get the hint but they are persistent. Yesterday when I came back from fishing they were sitting on my fish cleaning station waiting so they could work on there nest. I feel bad for them and would like to discourage them so they would have time to make good home.

Yesterday I left my planer boards, with flags blowing in the breeze, on the roof of the boat hoping that would be a deterrent. No such luck. Any thoughts?
