20070706 D200 193 Osprey (female) .jpg

Burritts Rapids, Ontario

OSPREY - Mom's not too happy having her breakfast disturbed by my presence and the clicking of my camera. She flew from the nest, to this position atop a hydro pole close to the nest, taking half the fish just brought to the nest by Dad and leaving half for the two young in the nest. Mom flew back and forth from the pole to the nest several times, allowing me to get some good shots. (Shot 8 of 9. See next shot for close-up of Mom on the nest)
