p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Osprey with Poor Choice of Nesting Site


I saw this osprey out gathering materials for its nest. Unfortunately it and its mate seem to have chosen a very bad spot for the nest -- at the top of an active crane. I hope that the nest gets cleared before they lay eggs.

(Sorry for the quality of the nest photo, it was well beyond the useful range of my lens. Plus they don' t have a raw converter out yet for my camera, so the noise reduction isn't great.)

The first is well done Andrew, the second documents the story.

There are a number of options for NEF from the D7100.

Aye carumba - silly osprey indeed! Let's hope they quickly abort the mission.

Thanks all!! I googled it and apparently they nest in cranes occasionally (http://www.tampabay.com/news/environment/wildlife/osprey-nest-cleared-from-crane-working-on-tampas-riverwalk/2171905). I actually ended up calling a bird rescue organization, it will be interesting to see whether they do anything.
