We had an especially enjoyable encounter with the Osprey. The hawk went into a
shallow area among some trees in standing water and began taking a bath ! We
noticed two Canada Geese approaching the Osprey. When the geese were within
just a few feet, one spread its wings and began to run over the water, flapping
wings and chasing the Osprey. The fleeing hawk made a quick get-a-way,
obviously not wanting to get into that fight. It was quite comical to say the
least. We sure enjoyed it.
Let's go birding.......
