Osprey

The osprey featured in this gallery are all from various nesting sites within the Twin Cities metropolitan area. The Twin Cities has undergone an immensely successful program in an effort to supply the breeding habitat necessary for these birds to prosper. As of 2006 there are 40-50 known osprey nesting sites in the metropolitan area. Its a photographer's paradise, that's for sure!!
