She's been nesting here every year for at least three years. Don't know what she said to the Fish Eagle to make him leave this prime location at the end of Coeur'd Alene Lake. She must be tougher than she looks. I wonder how she makes the goslings dive off to the water below, this power pole is about 30 feet above the water.

Great shot Weeds - hope they dont make too much of a habit of it though as rather see an osprey there ..no offence to the goose but the osprey did all the hard work , Mageth got it right though .

Mageth, possession is nine points of the law. It's hers till she gets evicted by a giant humming bird. LOL
Thanks, everyone. Taking pictures is easy...being in the right place at the right time is the hard part.
Bonkers, I suspect if the Osprey wanted her nest back, all she would have to do is raise those feathers on her crest and glare at the Honker and she'd be packing her suitcase. :-)

Now those nests are not all made by only the Osprey, BB, unless they know how to use a Hammer and nails...LOL..the Honker said looks like they went to a lot of work...and a good job they did..think I will just use this...love the Shot Sisty...made me smile ...feeling homesick for Wales and Steve... :( sob...sniff

Scary aren't they, Bonkers? I'm not overly fond of a couple of roosters out of my past either. I've been attacked by roosters who are just too pretty to be that mean.

Sis'n, it's always a view of the lake that makes 'em covet their neighbor's house.
How can I be glad you're back and sorry you're back at the same time? Sniffle.
