I had no binoculars but the calls were distinctive, and I could see the red foreheads, dark around the bill and light streaking on the flanks. The birds were very pale, no red on breasts, but without binocs I assume they were common redpolls.

Re: [mou-net] Roseville Osprey
Dislodging the goose from the Little Lake Josephine Osprey pole would be considered a federal migratory bird law violation. If anyone is found harassing the geese, they will be reported. Even though the geese are not the species most people want to see using the pole they got there first and should be allowed to use it without human intrusion. The osprey will work at trying the remove the goose, if they are unsuccessful dislodging the goose they will find another location to nest. There are a number of vacant osprey platforms in the area, not to mention numerous trees. John Moriarty Ramsey County Parks From: Minnesota Birds on behalf of Vanessa Greene Sent: Sun 4/11/2010 5:59 PM To: MOU-NET@LISTS.UMN.EDU Subject: [mou-net] Roseville Osprey Regarding the osprey nest in Roseville with the goose. Clearly that goose is incubating eggs...that is why no one can dislodge her. It is not totally unusual and it has happened before in the metro area tho with a less attached goose. A goose was on another nest a few years ago and the osprey did manage to chase her off, and unbeknownst to us, she left behind an egg. When the osprey laid their eggs and incubated them, they also hatched a gosling. Since Geese are precocial and osprey are altricial, it did not have a happy ending. The osprey were totally non aggressive towards the visitor and tried to feed it fish, but it needed someone to lead it to its food so it could feed itself. After about 4 days the gosling disappeared...either starved or died from dehydration or jumped off the nest platform. I searched for the ospreys today but did not find them anywhere.
