Canada Geese are found in a variety of habitats near water and meadows where there is plenty of food and open air to stretch their wings, and our pairs find just that here on the two hundred acres of private nature preserve.
Birding at House on Metolius
The Metolius Basin is the home to a wide range of bird species, including the Osprey pictured above. Also know as a sea hawk, this bird will get the attention of any fisherman along the river, as it calmly circles and hunts fish. The fish, in turn, respond by staying under banks and bridges, at least in part to avoid being an osprey's supper.
