Renters Kicked Out ...

After settling into her nest this April, Mother Goose prepared to hatch her goslings ... unaware that the nest she was inhabiting belonged to the Ospreys who built the nest. And they have returned here every spring for the last five years to reside in it. The Osprey allowed her to hatch her eggs, feed her young, and waited while they were taught to jump into the water and swim off. However, while she was awaiting their arrival, the Osprey let her know how unwelcome she was by constantly pecking at the nest, hovering over head and vocally letting her know she was most unwelcome. As soon as she departed, the Osprey immediately claimed their nest and now voraciously protect their Chesapeake Harbour perch.

The following post is Mother Goose and her goslings on our beach without a nest to which they can return. They have been evicted by the rightful owners.
