Nest Site Check

Recently heard that Osprey had been sighted at a couple of locations…after a long winters wait it was time for my first check on sites up Gimli way. There was a concern which was if Geese had decided to nest in one of the Osprey nests again…as this had happened before.

It was a relief to find that Osprey where at both sites…hopefully it will be a good year for them.

Osprey with a Meal

In the early part of the summer and watching another Osprey nest in the Gimli. I believe this was a young pair that maybe will return next summer to raise young.
The male was just returning with a meal to have at his new nest site that he had been working so hard on.

Have to love a post in the middle of no where that attracts an Osprey…she seemed to like going to that perch from time to time.

This is 1 of 2 photos that I’ve donated to the Annual Fire Fighters Charity Banquet & Ball here in Winnipeg that we have attended for the last number of years.
