These new apartments sit across the road from part of Delta Ponds. I imagine that they get a great view of the ponds, especially from the second floor apartments. If I lived there I would have a tripod set up by the window with a long lens on it. The tall pole on the left was placed there for the osprey to use for nesting. They had a nest there last year.
Delta Ponds lies by the Willamette River, and is adjacent to roads, highways, apartments or office buildings. It started out as some gravel pits that were used for the building of the I-5 freeway a few miles to the east. Eugene Parks won an award from the State of Oregon for developing the ponds, and deservedly so. They have done a great job. I remember when all of this land was agricultural. Now that is going back a ways! :)
