​Osprey Solutions, LLC is a Seattle-based wildlife consulting firm whose mission is to provide a full range of Osprey nest management services to industry and government. Building on decades of field research and nest management experience, our staff has developed state-of-the-art products to eliminate negative human-wildlife interactions associated with Osprey use of infrastructure for nesting.​

For more than 30 years, Jim Kaiser conducted research as a federal wildlife biologist (USFWS-Patuxent Wildlife Research Center) and private consultant primarily involving nesting Osprey and wintering bald eagle populations in the Pacific Northwest. Jim has considerable experience providing assistance to electric utility and cell tower companies seeking to identify and solve raptor-caused outages, raptor electrocutions and tower access issues. Jim is an expert on Osprey nesting behavior and nest management issues. He co-authored Chapter 6 in the Raptor Research Foundation manual: Suggested Practices for Avian Protection on Power Lines: State of the Art in 2006. He has co-authored over 20 peer-reviewed raptor research publications. Jim founded Osprey Solutions, LLC in February 2011 to continue serving a growing and diverse clientele throughout the United States and Canada.
