Actuially there are quite a few records of Canada Geese nesting in Osprey nests, particularly in the west where it is apparentlly more common. Elevated nests are not at all uncommon for Canada Geese which have used the nests of Great Blue Herons as well. Sometimes the competition between Ospreys and Canada Geese (which can have Ospreys attacking Canada Geese and vice versa) leads to mixed clutches of Osprey and Goose eggs; in at least one instance an Osprey actually hatfched a goose egg.

A group of us saw and documented this on Monday in the Chickahominy River, near the mouth of Diascund Creek. Deanna You are subscribed to VA-Richmond-General.
