The Osprey

About a year ago I was taken up to Ina Boat Launch and shown a nest for the Osprey! I was a bit worried the nest might not survive this past winter. Well it still there an the Osprey are back.

Building on the nest

I did a little research on Osprey recently and found out that they are a hawk and not an eagle. This surprised me since they look as large as an Eagle. But Osprey are not as large or as heavy as an Eagle. Osprey are 3-4 pounds and up to 70 inches in wing span, Eagles are up to 80 Inches wing span and average 14 pounds.

Flying out for more supplies

The 2 at the nest in Ina were still building their nest and still getting frisky in preparation for egg laying.

Avert your eyes!

They are some of my favorite birds to photograph. I hope you enjoy the photos

The Stare

Until Next time.
