Hyvä havainto Mimmu, en oo nähny lyöntipaikkaa, mut golfautoja on näkynyt, se on pakollinen, ko ne siirtymiset on niin pitkiä. Naavatillandsia roikkuu puiden oksista.
Menin eilen arkistoon katsomaan niitä Sun kuvia, mutta se pahuksen Photobucket- järjestelmän muutos on ne kaikki poistanut.
Tässä tämä historia siirrettynä tuolta mun eilisestä viestistäni....

During the Fall of 2014, a pair of Great Horned Owls began frequenting this recently abandoned Bald Eagle nest adjacent to a protected, nutrient-rich salt marsh along the Georgia coast. The nest sits nearly 80′ above one of the six Audubon International Certified golf courses at The Landings, on Skidaway Island, near Savannah, Georgia. Over the course of 2015 and 2016, a pair of owls successfully fledged four owlets from the site, but they did not return to breed in 2017.
Instead, a pair of Ospreys began renovating the nest and committed to breeding in the same site for 2017.
Ospreys are consummate fishing birds, and this pair fishes primarily from the nearby salt marsh, ponds, and waterways. They use their 6–7 foot wingspans to soar above the water, looking for fish, then diving as deep as 3 feet for shallow-swimming prey. Adult Ospreys usually weigh 3–4 pounds, and they can carry prey up to 50 percent of their own weight. Ospreys can live up to 25 years, and they typically lay 1–4 eggs in a clutch.
