Afternoon osprey/geese

1. Nice shots, Ellen!

Huge fish!

2. Yes it is/was. Wonder what kind?

3. If I considered these to be 'my ospreys' I certainly would intervene

Otherwise there will be no osprey chicks this year.

Whoever built the owl box would agree to intervene. Any goose eggs can be relocated to ground level where they belong. Leaving large dead fish on the original osprey nest area might be one deterrent to the nuisance geese.

4. The County built the owl box,

and property owner (my landlord) not inclined to add platform to box. I can't see goose eggs.

In the past I've seen goslings around, not sure when; waiting to see pics in my 'memories.' I'm surely not planning to leave large dead fish on my yard, which is the nest area!

5. Have you considered mylar flash streamers on poles near the goose squatter nest -- that's another

deterrent used on geese. It's easier to scare them away before their eggs are laid.
