With Options Available

As of the May Long Week-end…I’ve options with our summer place now opened up.
Being an early riser my routine is to make coffee, grab a travel mug and head out to check the haunts around the Gimli area.

First morning out and it’s nice to see a pair of Osprey have returned…unlike last year with no nesting birds at the sites I visit.
Safe to say that I’ll get my Osprey Fix this year…since there’s now options both in town and at the lake.

Standing Guard

Mr. Great Horned Owl stands guard close to the nest site. Perhaps more of a decoy for the Crows that will come by to mob him from time to time.
When this occurs he often flies off leading the Crows away from the nest area.

With the owlets now having all fledged…he’ll be kept busy keeping track of where they all are.
For the most part the young tend to stay together…but there’s always that one that like to hang out alone.
