Osprey in Flight

©
Earlier this morning we were down by the bay in the hopes of getting some photos of the osprey.  There was just one bird sitting atop the light standards.

I got several shots of it through my lens before it decided to fly over towards the nest.


This is a nesting platform set up overlooking the bay.  It looks like there is the starting of a nest there, but we didn't see the pair of osprey on this visit.  I'll be back again in hopes of capturing both of the birds on the nest like I did last year.

  3. Linda: What a fun look at the Osprey, they work the lake I fish but I never have my good camera on the boat.

  7. Hi Linda
    The first shot really shows what an osprey looks like.
    We had a pair nesting by the railway tracks on one of the lines but the GO train was started again. Apparently a new platform was constructed for them further away and they successfuly found it but I haven't seen it yet.
