Helpful Posts: I took a Ranger walk about birds in Lovers key St park where I was volunteering for Nov-Dec in exchange for
free Rv space and hook-ups. The gate closed at sunset, and the park was literally all mine, I tell you, all mine!
what a treat to get to the beach, before anyone was allowed in, and stay for the sunset glow after everyone else had to leave!
anyway, the beach has 6-8 Osprey nests and this one was near the water line and accessible.
The Ranger said sometimes he (?) comes back with a branch and she throws it out! I did see that once and made me chuckle, even bird communication isn"t perfect!
Enjoy, cc appreciated and you may edit if you tell me how you did it :0
I did adjust these in my Windows edit program that came with computer. Got PSE 11 but have not learned it yet.
Thank you all,
Nancy

2 is my favorite. That's a good sharp image that tells its own story.

Re: Osprey bringing branch for refurbishing ;)
Thank you Grahame, Izzie, Andre.
The Osprey all seem to be nesting since Christmas week. There always seems to be 1 way down in the nest with just the head showing.
I had to rotate out (they have a waiting list for my 'job) and am @2 hrs away. I will try and get back for babies
