Observation details
This pair of Canada Geese are nesting 40 feet off the ground in an Osprey platform in Horseshoe Pond on Presque Isle State Park, near the house boats. They usurped this nest from a pair of Osprey that used the platform in 2023 and successfully fledged young. The Canada Geese started nesting before the migrant Osprey returned from winter migration. The Osprey had such site fidelity that they built a nest in the very nearest tree to their old nest platform. See photos. Thanks to Jerry McWilliams for bringing this to my attention.
