    Not a great photo, as a lot of crop needed to get it even this big in the frame, but my first day I had good looks at an osprey, and I had good looks 5 times at my time at Rutland! According to the person in the main entrance, there were 30 breeding pairs around Rutland water!

    I'd captured this bird spotting and diving ......... behind reed beds :( But, still got him passing by with the catch, I'd run out of window room, hence the low shot

    Osprey

    The Osprey is a unique fish-eating raptor placed in its own family, the Pandionidae. This is probably a male based on its mostly white chest. The yellow eye indicates an adult. Ospreys lack the supraorbital ridge above the eye making them appear less fierce and more bug-eyed than most other...

    Osprey Census

    Went on an Osprey Census the other day. Didn't shoot any images nearly as interesting as the one you find in this post, but the experience was worthwhile nonetheless! The Osprey in the picture above was photographed during a visit to the Santa Maria Saltpans few days earlier. A report of the...

    Osprey subspecies?

    I saw this lovely pair in the Everglades National Park. The bird to the left seems an obvious "American Osprey", carolinensis. The bird on the right seems quite pale, however. Is it a possible ridgwayi? Thanks!

    This was the third Eastern Osprey, we saw in a couple of hours. Picture really not great as he was on the far side of the river and up a tree. I'm not sure if the tangle of twigs is from a very large old nest, or if it may be mistletoe, which seems to be a bit of a problem over there I think...

    Osprey hovering, but I guess it decided I wasn't a fish, nor was I scaring up any other catchable wildlife, so it moved on.

    Sometimes called the Sea Eagle, the Osprey dives for food using it's talons to secure their prey underwater. Many epic battles have been filmed showing their tenacity.

    Osprey with a History 8

    Today I got a spectacular fly-by - circles and circles right at my balcony height today. I thought it might be Bandit, but it isn't. It is smaller, overall lighter in color and almost completely white-chested. I went through pictures from this time last year and believe it is a male and is...

    Osprey with a History 7

    This isn't the first time Bandit has done fish-catch flybys. Maybe I'm nuts, but I think she likes to show off to me. I'm happy to see her eating well after Hurricane Idilia. She looked a bit worse for wear last time I saw her (Osprey with a History 6). I'm moving from this place by the Gulf to...
