Flirting with Danger
Don't know why they do it. This is the third year in row I have seen an Osprey pair nesting on top of a large sprinkler system in a farmer's field. The system is moved regularly; yet the birds stay there and raise their family. Last year they had three chicks; don't know yet how many they have this year. Kudos to the farmer and his workers for ensuring the safety of the birds while operating the system. Sometime the system is wheeled closer to the road, like this time, providing an opportunity to photograph them at a lower height. Keswick, Ontario
