Osprey DIY Repairs

The is the first morning I made it to this location. I usually stop by this spot on the Hudson River on my way home from work. I am usually facing the sun at those times when I face the nest. In the morning the sun is behind you. I was really hoping to get a shot in good light of an osprey bringing in a fish. In the 4 hours I was there no fish were brought in. I did see a stick brought in multiple times. I guess they were doing DIY (Do it yourself) nest repair.

Both of the sticks I am showing they picked up floating in the river. We have experienced a lot of rain lately and some flooding. There is a lot of debris in the river.

I like the above picture because it appears he is looking right at me. You can see the head of the mate appearing just above the nest on the right side. The nest is deep and so far I am not seeing the heads of any young osprey, so I have to assume they have not hatched yet. I hope you had a great Mother’s Day if you live in the U.S. Have a great week.
