Nice Visitor and Park Osprey

This cardinal somehow was able to visit "Magnolia Acres" without being bombarded by the house wrens that had taken up residence.
We don't often see an osprey at the new Park cam nest anymore...
Some of the family in the new platform nest. They were a little behind schedule due to building a whole new nest. The male had another nest before, closer to trees and lost his mate last year from predation by probably a Great Horned Owl.
Pair on the original camera nest had no family. She is a new mate also. Same thing occurred at this nest last year....
The light green feathery plumes on the lime green stalks are wild rice.
