Sometimes life gets in the way and I just don’t have the opportunity to do the site checks that I would like…but on this visit the timing was right for the young Osprey.

Eagle on the Wing
One of the 3 Eagles returning to shore after checking out what the commercial fishermen had discarded.
With cloudy skies and showers in the forecast another trip up on Lake Winnipeg may or may not happen.
The day’s now numbered till the commercial fishing season is done…any possibility for another trip will be weather dependent.
Just Who is Watching Who ?
You wouldn’t be expecting to find a Great Horned Owl nesting close to a high human traffic location…as was the case in St.Vital Park this past spring/summer. The site was close to the road and a few meters from a well used walkway.
Owls are not nests builders and use nests built by crows or other raptors. The un-used nest in the pine tree provided the perfect location for Mamma Owl to raise their three owlets.
