Osprey family
Yesterday, 8 July 2015, was the first time I had been to visit this family of Osprey this year. This is a fully (48 x) zoomed photo. From that distance, I wasn't quite sure if there were three young ones or just two definite ones. It was SO hot while I stood and waited, hoping that the other adult would appear, but eventually, it did, bringing supper.
"Unique among North American raptors for its diet of live fish and ability to dive into water to catch them, Ospreys are common sights soaring over shorelines, patrolling waterways, and standing on their huge stick nests, white heads gleaming. These large, rangy hawks do well around humans and have rebounded in numbers following the ban on the pesticide DDT. Hunting Ospreys are a picture of concentration, diving with feet outstretched and yellow eyes sighting straight along their talons." From AllABoutBirds.
