Feeding Time



At left, an osprey with a fish rests in a tree.




At right, another osprey sits on its nest.







Two adults were on the nest when we spotted it, but one left before my camera was ready.
It's possible the one that left the nest was the one we spotted with the fish.

That's very cool. Was that close enough to home so that you'll be able to keep an eye out for the young?

Thanks, Hilary. It's about an hour's drive, but I'm not sure I could find the spot again.

df Leah,

This is just wonderful. Isn't it amazing how the other species are so able to take of themselves and humans always seem to need so much help!

dfTerrie, I can't help but wonder how we got so helpless.
Nature/God/Universe supplies us with all we need. Sadly, we have forgtten how to receive it.
