Mary Ann:
Perhaps I should not have made this public. I regret that hordes of
people wanting to see the bird may overwhelm the staff at Huntley, and that the
bird will not get the quiet it needs to sit on the eggs.

So, is this some kind of April fool's joke?

For the first time since 2004, a bird that can only be called a
"Goosprey" seems to be nesting at Huntley Meadows. Apparently, it is a mutant
Osprey or Canada goose--or perhaps the result of a mating--maybe with some
cross-species DNA contamination. In 2004, the bird was quite reclusive,
keeping to the remote areas of the park. Let's hope that this year we see more
of it.
Here are two photos --one taken yesterday, and one taken back in 2004.
