Nesting Issues

The osprey returned from their long migration in mid March. They have been hunting and fishing to regain their strength and now it is time to build a nest. Osprey generally return to the same nest year after year.

This year at ORRO Headquarters there has been a shake up in nesting sites. Canada Geese decided to move into the osprey nest. There was a raucous and some fly by diving, but the geese stayed. The displaced osprey hovered nearby watching the nesting geese in their home, seemingly waiting for vacancy.

Finally, as nature dictated, the osprey had to accept the change in living environments and moved their nest site. They are busy building a new nest which will take about seven days. The male and female osprey work diligently as a team throughout the building, nesting and raising of the fledglings.

Stay tuned for further development in homeland security!
