These are also from Sunday’s outing to the unusually empty Oceanside Marine Nature Study Area. I took these during a quick pass under the osprey tower as I don’t want to chase mom from her nest and chicks. She is the most tolerant osprey I’ve met and a stunning bird. I hope you enjoy these.
I'm envious of how close you got to this one. I went to see some ospreys a couple of weeks back but I couldn't get anywhere bear the nest. Even shooting with a 600mm lens on a 7D I couldn't get a shot worth having.
Morris- the Peanut Gallery is in awe of these spectacular images.
Momma osprey is very tolerant, but she sure looks like she'd be happy when you got out of there.
With great understanding, you did. I thank you also.
