Out West Birds(Part 2)

Osprey
Common loon/osprey.
Not a good year!
This years pair fought off another pair. A total of 9 nine eggs were laid this year.
No one hatched due the the fighting of the pair as they both were unable to incubate the eggs.

I got this from a live cam but I wanted to share it.
Make sure to check out my other Osprey pictures.

This osprey was carrying a long strip of spanish moss to its nest. I estimate the strip to be 5 feet long.
Warbler Galore! (Big Birding Day Part 2)
Sorry for the not-so-great pictures. Aside from the three kinds of warblers, I saw a European Starling, two Ospreys, robins, crows, Tree Swallows, Black-capped Chickadees, Downy Woodpeckers, and White-breasted Nuthatches.

New Osprey nest
The Idlewilde Civic League appropriated funds to have a new pole and nest installed to replace the old pole and nest that were both disintegrating. I built the nest from plans that I downloaded from your website and added a perch on top.

Osprey Nest
Nests, Nests, Nests
I have been visiting Ballston Creek Preserve now for weeks…it started with lots of Heron nests and now there are so many babies. There was a Great Horned Owl and baby who fledged after my second visit. The Osprey sit high above and call out their warning sign as I get to the end of the path – no babies there yet. The Hairy Woodpecker I just happened upon while watching the others. Whoever says you have to go far from home to see beauty? All this in one spot! Totally enchanting!
