I love your photos. I always find it interesting why ospreys prefer to build their nest on poles rather than build in a tree. Here they built on top of large signs that were placed in the river to mark manatee zones and on land they build on top of power poles. I think the curved tree was blown down by maybe a storm, and they naturally want to grow up instead of keep growing on the ground.
I think your right about the tree probably winds and storms have blown it that way
And yes indeed I do find it so interesting that Ospreys choose to nest in such places
