Yesterday at FP. The competition for existing nests is getting fierce. This male had to fend off an invader time and time again.
While, down the road, two pairs of Ospreys were vying for another existing nest. The females (one of them very young) were really going at it. And all four of them were soaring high overhead screaming at each other.
Still, a few of the old guard are settling in, repairing last year’s nests, and apparently behaving themselves.
On the new road it’s possible to see at least three fresh water ponds that used to be too far away. And right next to one of them – TWO Bald Eagles.
I never realized birds faced housing shortages.
