Could you call ahead and have them tidy things up before the next photo ?

Nest adjacent to my house has been here for YEARS, looking pretty neat.

We have a nest about 2 blocks away from the house and I believe the babies may have already fledged. But today an adult took an 8-minute bath in the pond behind my house. They do that every so often. The ducks, ibis and moorhens pay no attention as they have no fear of an osprey. They mostly eat fish and there are plenty around here.
