Osprey Family Update

The 3 chick are now juveniles. able to fly further. They have been practicing the art of diving and catching a fish. The parents still brings fish to the nest but it's not as frequent at the past 2 weeks so it had become chaotic now whenever mom or dad brings fish. The young ospreys fight over food and soon they will be forced to catch fish for themselves.


#1 These juveniles are still not afraid of people, they fly very close as if showing their newly found (or learned) skills.

Excellent series.

SUPER series, Jo! Love seeing the orange-eyed juvies learning their way around. Mine have left the nest completely.

Absolutely a great set, numbers 4 and 6 are my favorites but they are all nicely done!

WOW.. what great shots.... love Osprey, you have some great detail and color in them shot... good job !!!!

What a great series, Jo; I would gladly trade some of our eagles for a few osprey; well done.

Thanks Ian, I think this week will be their last week so I'm going to maximize and try to get as much pictures that I can get.
