Caution
04/03/2011
Caution! I think the caution tape adds a nice touch to the nest. :-) I guess my Osprey do have a sense of humor. ;-)
During low tide the various gulls and crows had gathered on the sandbar or "Star Wars bar" as I refer to it. When all the gulls took to the air, ducks were flying and Ma and Pops Osprey sprung into action.
The Eagle was fishing near the sandbar. It caught a fish but thanks to Ma and Pops he dropped it. Pops was on the Eagle like white on rice. :-) So Ma flew back to eggs and Pops did his duty. Chasing the Eagle off.
Later a goose flew by - too close to the nest - Pops went after the goose too and.... just to make sure everyone knew he wasn't playin' he ran off another Osprey who appeared to be fishing.
Pops did the fly over top and boom. Dropped into the other Osprey sending him on his way. Later Pops got a fish... big enough for two. :-) Ate his share and did his job, brought it back to Ma.
