Previously at the Osprey nest site with the resident female defending the site from an intruder who made multiple passes. This was more than a pass with the intruder attempted to land in the nest…which didn’t go over well.
The resident pair were not in the mood for any visitor. The Old Saying holds true…Twos company, Threes a crowd.
Whether I’m walking or driving I constantly glance at the holes in trees for anything unusual. These larger cavities would have most likely been made by a Pileated Woodpecker and often become the new home for something else.
This well camouflaged Eastern Screech-Owl seems right at home in its New Digs.
Shortly after arrival to an Osprey site while watching the female in the nest and suddenly she began chirping. More than a chirp for…Honey Bring Me That Fish Right Now.
Prolonged chirps that sounded more like defensive or alarm calling.
Then the intruder came into sight…another Osprey was in the area and off the nest she went.
