Re: [Paddlewise] Saturation Point

|Maybe it's some other one's territory, or maybe the fishing isn't as good.

I think they are just stubborn.  They don't wanna move.  The quiet area is empty
of Osprey's and there are plenty of fish in there.  The nest has been in the
same place for at least three years and I think they just don't wanna move.
Now, if the Osprey flew SSE instead of E there is another lake finger that is
cut off from the lake by a causeway.  There are pipes under the causeway to
allow water to move about but boats can't get in, at least legally.  There is a
public access point for nonmotorized boats that I used to put my canoe.  The
last time I was back in that area 4-5 years ago there was no Osprey nests but
plenty of standing timber.  VERY few people went back in there, and if they did
they were in paddle boats.  You would think the Osprey or the Bald Eagles would
be back in there but they are not.  Go figure.

I know I would like to live up in there!  8-)

These areas are not more than a mile even by boat.  Fly time is even less.  The
fishing is good in the whole area so there is something else going on.  I
personally think it is a conspiracy.  I think the birds are watching us for some
reason.  I just dont know why and for whom.....  8-)  But I'm watching them so i
guess it is fair!

I have seen Osprey nest in the middle of the Intercoastal Waterway so I guess
they just are used to it all.....

Or maybe they LIKE watching the Lake Lice and the Water Skiers?

Later...
