I remember some years driving by and seeing a Canada Goose in this osprey
nest. The Geese start nesting earlier than the Osprey but I don't know
that the geese got out of there in time for the Osprey to also raise
a brood. At the time, I was under the impression that the nest had
been usurped by the geese. I wonder why the geese aren't there now.
