On her Idaho Scenic Images Facebook page, Linda Lantzy provides a number of superb photos of the pilings on Cougar Bay that are the focus of a lawsuit, including this one of the bay's shallows with the pilings in the background. Environmentalists want the pilings to remain to provide nests for osprey & to discourage motorboaters from churning up the shallow bay west of the Coeur d'Alene waterfront. You can see more of Linda's Cougar Bay photos here.
