What's your hypothesis? Saw this orange rope lattice with small, orange flags over a small pond with an outlet to the bay. I'm guessing this is some sort of Osprey protection. Anyone else have any ideas???
It is very interesting, how would this protect the Osprey?
I hope it is, since that’s a good thing.
And if its not for that, would be for some kind of tree clearing marker for guides as to what not to cut?
Or , as Ed and I would say..... ALIENS.

Could have used more specific wording: Protect any fish IN THE POND from Ospreys diving in for dinner. The ropes are a good 15' above the pond.
Many years ago in Epcot at WDW we watched Ospreys taking turns diving into the Koi Pond at the Japan Display!! They were as happy as I was when I got to the Sushi Bar inside...
Folks less attuned to nature across the nation are horrified when their expense ornamental fish like koi start disappearing. One person in IL accused people of stealing them until a webcam showed the perpetrator, a Great Blue Heron...
If Max were still here he'd be having afield day.
It must be bunny mating season. The backyard has been filled with rabbits today.
Miss the old man.......

A few years ago my ex-in-laws had a summer house out on the North Fork near the Peconics; a beautiful wooded property abutting water, and a massive Koi pond. Over the pond were the same wire, in crisscross sections, only about 10-15 feet above. Kept out the Birds of Prey rather well, along with the trees. There were probably a good 30+ Koi's in there.

Cousin up in Danbury that had a nice Koi Pond. Only problem is the koi kept disappearing - couldn't figure out what was taking them.
He set up a camera & caught the culprit on film.
A Raccoon. He'd sit on the edge of the pond & every time a fish came near the edge - he'd simply scoop it up.
While fishing in Florida I caught and released a 5-6 pound largemouth. I noticed it was struggling a bit and I figured I'd wait a few to see if she was able to straighten herself out. Shockingly as soon as she drifted un the bridge I hear a loud splash and I thought someone jumped off the bridge. It was an Osprey wings open in the water and the next thing I know there goes the bass in mid-flight!
Nature is a wonderful thing.
while waiting for someone to make their putt on the green at West Sayville I notice above us was a huge Hawk flying by after just securing lunch, he had a small rodent or fish in his grasp heading off to snack on.

Nature at its most natural.
I saw a snake today, a 4-5' black racer. Unlike some others here, I didn't run away, screaming like a girl. I calmly asked it to bring more friends around. The chipmunk, red squirrel and field mouse population has exploded and the local Guard Fox family isn't keeping up with them...

This fricken critter was on my back screen last week.. size of a tennis ball!! I’ll take Covid over this thing any day
Wtf ?
that thing looks "otherworldly"
I went outside with a wooden spoon like a ginzo old Italian lady(lol I'm part Italian) , opened up the screen and swooshed it away outside. I have never seen a spider so big before.
Its just gonna come bigger lol
