This must be my day for strange osprey occurances.    After  making my post
this morning about osprey fishing small ponds, my husband & I  decided to go to
Walborn Reservoir to check out the eagle & osprey nests on  Reeder Rd.  After
taking a good look at the eagle on the nest, we turned  our attention to the
osprey.  What a shock to see, not an osprey  sitting on the nest, but a Canada
Goose!  That is REALLY HIGH for a goose  nest!  I sure would like to be there
when those goslings leave the  nest!  I bet they will be yelling at their
parents "What were you  thinking?  We are not Wood Ducks!"

We later ran into Wildlife Officer Tim Jordon who told us it appears the
osprey has relocated to a cell tower on McCallum Rd, east of the Reeder Rd  nest.
 We drove to the cell tower & sure enough, there is what looks  like an
Osprey nest but we didn't see the birds.  This nest is unusual in  that there is no
water within sight, though it isn't all that far away, as the  Osprey flies.
