Split Level Condo

While we were out gathering wood for our camp, my daughter kept hearing a bird squawk at us. I was too focused on getting the wood and didn't even notice. While I was taking macro shots of some thistle blooms where we were picking up the wood, my daughter told me to turn around and look at this. The birds had taken over this large snag in a burnt out area of the forest.

 

The bird that was warning us was an osprey that was trying to protect this nest. I'm guessing that mom was guarding the nest while dad was yelling at us in a nearby tree. It was pretty cool to see the two nests like this in the same tree. Maybe the second nest is a time out area for the young ones.
