| Note: | Canada goose nesting , fyi: CANG are not native but have become nuisance residents, this is not a good sign, once CANG take an osprey nest they will often return to take the platform in years to come, they will learn to take other osprey platforms . They incubate up to 32 days causing possibly late nesting of our resident ospreys. Ospreys that nest late in the season create negative impacts on any young they produce. Cang should be deterred from nesting on osprey nest structures , interesting that the nest cam feed has been restored to the general public | ||||||

| Note: | Female osprey on Lobster Shamty platform , some nest material, she is focused on activity inside the restaurant windows very close to nesting platform , CANG still nesting in Captain Mac’s nest. For anyone who pays attention here, please keep an eye if there are any future chicks fledged as we have had to rescue young who landed on the upper decks of plexi glass condo decks next door. Young can not fly out of such a trap. Lobster Shanty platform is a high risk site | ||||||
