A new 45  foot hydro pole was placed about 100 meters from the pole that housed two productive Osprey last year. The returning preditorial birds were upstaged by   Canada Geese that took over their nest.No hostility was observed and the Osprey were seen flying with two mature Bald Eagles as well.

The birds make a sharp snapping sound as they fly by the top of cottonwood trees and take branches for nesting. They are one again at work building a nest on the new diversion pole a provided the nest they were building on the power poles has been removed and it seems wisely they are allowing the birds to make a new nest  at their convience and plan.
