Watch out for that First Step…it’s a Doozy !
It was hilarious watching the goslings attempting to get down off the curb in a parking lot.
Eventually the last one of five took that Big Step and joined Mom & Dad…then proceeded to hold up traffic as they made their way across the parking lot.
Someone in the area of this Osprey nest site may very well be missing a Koi or large Gold Fish from their back yard pond…or perhaps from one of the many large ponds in the area.
Since Osprey are fish eaters I’m sure it must have been easily spotted from overhead.
The meal would be intended for the youngsters…but Dad did do a taste test before he delivered the meal. Shouldn’t be long before chicks will be visiable.
There is always things to do around the Summer Place…over the week-end the Job Jar was put on hold.
First thought was that they had disappeared as the area was silent.
Not so…Mr. & Mrs. Wren were definitely busy finding all sorts of insects to feed the youngster.
It’s always a challenge to be able to capture them in the bush…they tend to never sit for long in any one place and constantly on the move.
Wrens are Chickadee and Finch like in size…so smaller than a Sparrow.
Needless to say… things in the Job Jar are still there to tackle another day.
