Probably picked it fecause it was a good place to scan his/her surroundings for prey, but it also provided a great setting for a photo.

It's awesome that you can literally look out your window and see bald eagles!

HOUSE windows for ospreys (in the past,) and geese now.

VERY awesome, so lucky to have found this house to rent.

We’ve got a thriving population where I live in Florida. The other day I was watching an adult train a youngster. They repeated the same flight pattern over and over again until the kid gave up and sort of crash landed into a tall pine. It took him/her several minutes to recover while the adult soared effortlessly around them. The kid finally got out of the tree and into flight again. They flew off. Training time must have been done. So cool to watch.

Saw ospreys do such in the past; more recently, geese teaching goslings to walk around my yard!

Almost everybody has to learn the basics. Some just do it a lot quicker than others.
