We continue to have a lot of rainy days. I did view the osprey in between storms. No baby osprey heads visible yet as of Friday night. This nest is deep.
In the above picture it appears the female osprey is sizing up the fish the male is bringing in.
The above piture appears to be the male. He has some white areas on his wing. I wonder if that is normal or batle scars from chasing off eagles and other osprey or them chasing him.
The fishermen wanted to see what fish the osprey was bringing in, so I showed them the back of my camera. I think it was this image. They thought it was a herring based on what they saw in the back of my camera. The one fisherman said he was using herring as bait to catch stripper.
Here’s hoping we get some clear days. Here’s hoping we will get a clear night or two. They are saying here that Sunday night has a possibility to be a great night to see the Northern Lights, if it is not cloudy and everything pans out as they are thinking. Happy Sunday!

I think I’ve asked u before but I just don’t remember, your photos are so sharp, what camera and telelens do you use to capture the birds?

These are not that sharp. I do not have a lens that has a wide opening or low number F Stop. Nikon, Canon, Sony I know all get great images with cameras like this that are not top of the line professional. I know people who get much better images than this with higher end cameras and higher end zooms with wider openings or lower F Stop numbers.

Always jealous of in air action photos. Nicely done, Sharon. Still working on my skill set. Maybe by my 90’s. Ever hopeful.

It helps when the nest is in a good range from where you can stand and the osprey do close fly overs or various action. So far this is the best nest for those conditions, however I am told there is a place in NJ that has even better conditions that I may check out some weekend.
