Tug boats are a vital part of shipping on the Columbia River. The two in this picture are the most common types we see. The Amy Brusco, on the left, pushes barges. The tall tower is so the captain can see over the barges to navigate. The larger Bo Brusco (on the right) is for towing vessels or guiding the larger ships that dock in the ports of Longview, Kalama, or Vancouver/Portland. And yes, that's an Osprey nest atop the pole in the center.

The osprey definitely has a bird's eye view.
Buena función desempeñan. Mucha actividad hay en ese gran puerto.
Que tengas un buen día.
Very nice and interesting too.
Always like seeing working boats, and these tugs look just fine. The Amy Brusco looks similar to rugs found on the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers. The Osprey has found a good nesting spot. There must be a plentiful supply of fish for them.
El águila pescadora seguro que controla a los remolcadores en su trabajo. Muy buena explicación de lo que hacen cada tipo de remolcador.
Un abrazo.
No tengo mucha idea de estos temas pero gracias a tu estupenda explicación ya conozco un poco más.
Una foto en la que entretenerse viendo los muchos detalles que has capturado. El nido es solo uno de ellos.
Abrazo
Good shot of the seas. The Ospreys are keeping a fine eye on things!
I would love to see the osprey nest on top
Una buena imagen. Todo un documento visual, amigo.
Un saludo
Such a wide busy river!
