Osprey Building A Nest

D3-041510-075

I went back to the osprey nest in the lights this morning and waited for 45 minutes to get some shots of the birds coming back to the nest. Patience does pay off with wildlfe, but I seldom have that much.

Great shot Vern, it so strange that they like to set up home in these light fixtures.

Wow neat Vern! Just a stark modern nest location though! Looks like the area needs some or more of the nesting platforms. Linda S
