There is a truck inspection station on northbound Interstate 75 in Florida, a few miles north of exit 439, where stands an odd sort of antenna shaped like a wire mesh umbrella on a very tall steel pole.
That wire mesh became covered with Spanish moss after one of last year’s hurricanes blew through the area.
The Old Lady observed that an osprey has now built its nest on top of the moss-covered antenna and is raising at least one chick up there!
But sometimes the body begins to breakdown and a problem like purchase generic viagra erectile dysfunction occurs. After about twenty minutes of small talk, the boyfriend unexpectedly steps over and puts his arm around the girl. viagra online shop The generic version of this free levitra samples medicine is “Sildenafil Citrate”. How does it work? This is a question that a lot of men have asked themselves whilst browsing the internet and seeing pop ups of soft generic viagra and other such issues in their lives.
The photos don’t do justice. The Old Lady could not get close enough from the side of the highway to get a good shot, but as she passed the structure driving on I-75 she could see the osprey and its young’un clearly.
Certainly a nest with a view… but the traffic is terrific!
You must have an eagle’s eyes to see it. And nobody is going to touch that bird up there.
We just drove past this exact stop weigh station and I googled what the tall pole with a wire mesh umbrella was for in Florida and your post came up as the top result. Does anyone know what it actually is for?
As far as I’ve been able to determine it is an omnidirectional antenna for communicating with truck drivers.

Just passed these and wondered what the heck they were! Thankful for this info! We didn’t see an osprey, but wondered if it would attract them!
There’s actually three of them now. All with nests
Thanks for the update!
Lightning protection system. That is what those poles are. This was installed to create a safe bubble for the people and equipment on the ground especially since the surrounding area with poles is the high point for that area. They are not antennas.
