All,
After pulling vines and dewberries out in the back yard, the hubs and I needed some bird therapy. But first, we drove to Keo for pie therapy at Charlotte's Eats and Sweets before getting down to business. Lots of Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles in Keo. We circled around the back of the Keo Fish farm then decided to check the oxbow lake along Old Hwy 30 Rd off the England Hwy ( US 165). This lake is known as Eanes Minnow Farm Lake #2. Lots of cypress trees in the lake. We occasionally see the Willow Beach eagles sitting in those trees. There is what looks to be a failed eagle's nest in one tree.
Today there were two Ospreys sitting in that nest! They looked comfortable. Thee best view of the nest is at the 2nd opening in the tree line. There is a large irrigation pipe in that opening and a large purple No Trespassing sign.
