In recent years it’s been common to see Geese nesting in an Osprey nest…I’ve always wondered about those little goslings taking that first step and how they can survive the fall.
It was a delight to see that the Osprey have now returned to their nest and not have to deal with the Geese.
The site being only minutes away from home and located in a commercial area with easy access…making for quick Osprey fix when time is short.
Impossible to say just how many ponds we have in the city…but they all attract ducks.
Wood Ducks being a bit different and have sharp claws which enables them to perch in trees.
These ducks nest in tree cavities or nest boxes that have been built and installed around ponds or along the rivers.
The colorful plumage including their bill makes them easy to identify.
In a Perfect World it would be wonderful if the Peregrine Project was able to have camera access at all possible locations.
Well the world isn’t perfect and putting Boots on the Ground and physically checking locations is still required.
This is something I always look forward to when March rolls around.
Don’t get me wrong the remote cameras are a definite asset to the Project when it comes to capturing those “Awe Moments” like a Feeding Time…along with the ability to monitor their well-being in the off chance they require a little helping hand from us humans.
Whether it’s stills or a Live Feed they go hand in hand bringing excitement to the Peregrine Season.
