Something new..Osprey Nest

FOund a new Osprey Nest in town yesterday. The have built a nest on top of a Utility pole on a platform place by the city. Cool thing is a can drive up to a certain level in the parking garage for an eye level photo shoot. I still have to go through todays pic's, caught them mating! Last year they had 4 babies.....Can't wait until the eggs are laid and hatched. Can only imagine the baby shots I will be scoring on!!

What a year on Raptor nests!


Had a cloudy/sunny day for these shots, mid day again.

Eric...as always - MAGNIFICENT!
I never tire of viewing your posts.
Each one is a delight.

Lovely Osprey shots, Eric. I've shot many of them, on various nests, and know it can be difficult to get a clear shot. You've done well in this regard, with minimal interference from the tangle of branches and twigs that form their nests. Love the open-beak first shot.

Wonderful series. What luck having a parking garage where you can get eye level with them.

Eric,

The first Osprey picture with the beak open is powerful but also splendid in the plumage. I have a a feeling that if you took a bus ride across the country, you'd find a raptor nest at every bus stop!
