The ospreys were carrying branches, moss, etc to the nests. Great fun to hear the branches crack when they would break them off to take to the nest.

Very nice, Karen. I'm jealous. I'm looking forward to their return here in a couple of months. They are an awesome bird that I love to photograph.

Wonder why they are so high near you? We could see the nests near the water and all were occupied.

It's cool, sometimes they miss and have to circle around again. They also carry whatever they have in circles around the nest tree several laps before landing. I think they are showing off??? ;) I've seen them do this with fish too.

I feel the same way...I only got one carrying a fish and an eagle came and took it away. Got shots but just too far away, darn it.

Wow, Karen...great capture!!

Thanks, Maureen...I had lots of practice on BIF...pelicans everywhere, osprey, hawks, eagles....I have to look for hours to get shots around here. Although today, with the snow melting, there were a lot of hawks out when I drove downtown. Guess the mice and voles were back out where they could get them.
