(23,365 posts)1. We were just talking about the Canada goslings
were seeing everywhere! Im also seeing drake mallards on their own which means hens are on the nests. Babies!

NOW I hope 'my' ospreys get back on the nest (that the geese 'stole,') and make some OSPlets!

for commandeering Osprey nests. Such an odd dynamic entertaining too.

and sure hope it's the last (AND 'we' get back to the nest. Earlier today, was still full of goose down.)

I noticed a 'new' male found her.

is the real deal. Iris deserves it.

Nest was still full of fluffy down earlier today, then goose + goslings took their walkabout, so fingers crossed! Ospreys hanging around.
