This sculpture is installed at the north end of the new Martin's Point Bridge that connects Falmouth with Portland Maine, It replaces an older bridge from witch the metal rebar was used to make the nest.
Artist Wendy Klemperer of Nelson, New Hampshire, oversaw installation of a nesting osprey sculpture near the Falmouth approach to the Martin's Point Bridge on Friday, Oct. 31. Klemperer created the 75-pound piece of art in 2012 from weathered, salvaged steel; it was originally displayed at Maine Audubon in Falmouth. She made the nest, which weighs about 2,000 pounds and is 8 feet in diameter, over the last two weeks from reclaimed rebar from the old Route 1 bridge between Portland and Falmouth. The piece is considered a good fit for the area, since osprey are known to frequent the location. (Website)
