Return of the Osprey


I sighted my first Osprey for the spring last weekend but it wasn’t until this weekend that I was able to capture an image of one.

This Osprey flew over me while I was fishing yesterday, flying to the far end of the lake before perching in on a dead branch. Imagine my surprise at finding the Osprey still perched where I had seen it land earlier as I approached the end of the lake some two hours later.

As I photographed the Osprey from the bouncing boat I could hear it calling intermittently. Later I observed two Ospreys soaring above the lake so I presume that this bird was calling for its mate.

  3. Beautiful shot, Salty. I love the osprey's pale eye. It makes the bird's gaze seem all the more intense.
