Starting a decade or so ago, Canada Geese have often usurped Osprey nests atop tufa towers at Mono Lake in California. Usually the goslings have fledged by the time the Osprey are really serious about nesting, so it’s not a long term problem and does not (I think) lead to a decline in Osprey reproductive success.

I never saw any indication that they intended or tried to nest there. Perhaps they enjoyed the view.

Not too far from the parking lot off Jacksonville Road, she spotted a Canada Goose, nesting in an unexpected location (to put it mildly). Here, have a look: https://youtu.be/g3dHEyC9qdA So I'm wondering if this bird might have been raised by peregrines. (Hey, if humans can be raised by wolves...) But seriously: Have any of you observed similarly maverick nesting behavior in this species? I'm wondering how common this might be.
