Silly Goose
A Canada goose looks quite pleased with her nesting choice...an Osprey platform on the Columbia River. Since Ospreys usually come back to the same nest, will they be as pleased to find their nest already occupied? Apparently this kind of nesting conflict is not that uncommon, especially during a cool spring (like we've been having). You'd think the Osprey would win the battle for the nest, but it's not always so. sora.unm.edu/sites/default/files/journals/jrr/v021n03/p00...
