I was excited when I learned a subdivision on the west end of the island had erected two Osprey nesting platforms within their neighborhood park. One platform was quickly claimed by a pair of these magnificent birds whose wing span can range from 4 - 6 feet!
The photo above was taken from my vehicle using my small Panasonic Lumix, but you can be sure I'll be back throughout the season with my Canon 40D, a telephoto lens, and a tripod!
how exciting!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo--makes this birdwatcher happy, and homesick!
ReplyDeleteJay, won't you be heading to the lower 48 soon?
ReplyDeleteWe have a new tree nest in our neighborhood too. But this platform will certainly give you a "bird's eye view." (Sorry, couldn't resist.) I'll look forward to more.
ReplyDeleteNice zooooom there, DJ. I love ospreys and each new nest is nothing but good news to me.
