Observations & Images

|
|
The Ospreys regroup in the nest after chasing off a Bald Eagle which could not be photographed because most of the action was blocked by intervening trees. |
| The female takes wing. | |
|
She performed the usual regimen of landing on different perches around the nest tree to preen and relax. |
| The female eventually flew back to the nest. | |
|
But her attention was taken by two Crows who landed higher up in the nest tree. |
| She sprang off the nest and chased the two Crows away. | |
|
With the female back in the nest to incubate the eggs, the male set to working on the nest. |
| He lands with a small branch. | |
|
He looks for a spot to put the new branch. |
| Bored with working on the nest, the male flew off and was back within ten minutes with a small fish which was still very much alive for it struggled valiantly in the raptor's talons to no avail. | |
