Good morning! It’s Thursday, and the summer visitors are starting to return. When I checked the big tree where the osprey nest last week, it was empty. But yesterday there was no mistaking the telltale screech of a new arrival (or returnee?). Even the crows, far off in the woods, kept yelling, “Keep it down over there!”
Aren't you glad you are not a fish? Seemed pretty prudent to me to leave the area. We have been seeing our ospreys return also. In a bit I suspect we will be seeing them diving into our pond. Mighty tasty dinners swimming around in there.
I have only seen an osprey in person one time and I was so shocked by its size! I wasn’t quite sure what I was seeing and immediately went into my bird ID app! The osprey was so majestic and it absolutely thrilled me to see one so close.
ohhhh you have an OSPREY nest at your place?!! I am deeply envious! I've been watching the most amazing videos (as well as astounding stills) of osprey getting fish on the instagram account mark.smith.photography
Can't get enough of them! (His film of hundreds of bald eagles getting fish in a Canadian lake are incredible too!)
On the other side of the country, I had an identical conversation with our ospreys, so I had to laugh when I read about yours. Aren't they the best? Ospreys represent summer for me. Wishing all the ospreys well!
Wow! The nature that you get to experience there is awesome. Ospreys are such fascinating creatures! I think he was saying to you that we need some decompression time while we expand our family! Nice to see them back though.
Yaaay they're back!
Wonderful awakening
Perhaps they are not too sure about humans.💖😌
So glad you didn’t end up Brunch! ❤️
You may have looked like a very prize fish! Flapping your gills and all, y'know ...

Any celebration is worthy of celebration.

Wow! Wonderful!
I think he was hovering while he decided if he could carry you to the nest!

So magestic, their wing span beautifully soaring. Protecting the family, such love!
