Osprey
There’s a baby hiding in this photo. Can you see it?
active Osprey nest
There the young bird just hopped up to see what’s going on. He’s pretty big, but not big enough to fly yet.
This is the 4th year that this nest site has been used. I’m not sure if it’s the same birds from year to year, but the first year they had a successful nesting followed by two years when the nest failed. I hope all goes well this year - I’ll be watching…
Dee, is this the nest you can see from the main road to Crane Lake as well as a glimpse of it from the Nelson Road? The tree is sort of out in the swampy area.
Yes, it’s out in the open yet very inaccessible to any land predators due to the deep water in the beaver pond.
