Watch the Eyes! The Osprey seems to be thinking as its mate is flying in. These landings look risky to me.
This nest either has little babies or eggs that have not hatched yet. In the time I was there the mate only flew out to chase perceived threats. No fish were brought in.
I wonder if an osprey ever injuries its mate when flying back into the nest.
Although they seem to have babies later than owls and eagles, it is still that time of year for new life. Pause to reflect on those who gave the ultimate sacrifice that we may be free.

I have had the same wonderings watching the Osprey (and other larger birds) land in their nests – hopefully they are experienced enough by then to adjust for wind gusts and other flight anomalies to safely land without injuring the mates and more importantly the eggs/chicks.

Seems a little iffy to me. Hopefully they are better at landing than some people are about driving in highways.
