Amazing, and especially to think of both species having successful nests on
such a dead lake!

Re: [cayugabirds-l] Not your typical Canada Goose nest

2023-04-13 Thread Marie P. Read
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.

One sign of Canada Geese overpopulationg an area is that they start nesting off
