If it nests near you, we can see family picture later, maybe.

Very nice image, interesting lighting.

Thanks, taken about 30 minutes after sunrise.

That would be nice!

Eye level with the Osprey.
Pine Island, FL
This is going to be a fun nest to photograph. One I'm looking forward to capturing images as the chicks progress to flight. Camera: Sony Alpha 1 + FE 600mm GM f/4 with a FE 1.4 Extender. January 22, 2023
Trivia -
Osprey eggs do not hatch all at once. Rather, the first chick emerges up to five days before the last one. The older hatchling dominates its younger siblings, and can monopolize the food brought by the parents. If food is abundant, chicks share meals in relative harmony; in times of scarcity, younger ones may starve to death.
Ospreys are unusual among hawks in possessing a reversible outer toe that allows them to grasp with two toes in front and two behind. Barbed pads on the soles of the birds' feet help them grip slippery fish. When flying with prey, an Osprey lines up its catch head first for less wind resistance.

Both of these Ruff shots are very nicely photographed, Cog! The images are both sharp and clear. The second one is my favorite. Nice work.

1. A couple of American white ibis @ EG Simmons State Park in Ruskin, FL.
2. A black-bellied plover @ Ft. De Soto State Park in St. Pete, FL. (it's low tide so the picture is tilted)

Two nice sharp shots!
