Living bordered by the Occoquan River and the Occoquan National Wildlife Refuge has it's advantages. In the Spring watching the Osprey build their nests and fish is a amazing treat. A few days ago one of the local nesting pairs stopped to eat their recent catch just outside my window. At one point it looked as if the Osprey gave me the eye as if to say....go ahead and try to get my fish!
Cindy, That is an amazing shot! Really cool! This is one that I am really glad that you shared with us! Have a great day!
Belinda-I took a series of shots and a few times he stoppped and glared right at me.
Debbie-we have a solid population of Osprey and the evening is a great time to watch them fishing.
Chris Ann-it's the cycle of life. There wasn't much left of this fish when he was done.
Joanna-this tree is almost eye level with my condo so I'm fortunate to be able to catch the Osprey close by.
William-wish I could get just a bit closer but in this case the telephoto lens will have to do.
Kay-thanks. I have plenty that ended up being deleted but every once in awhile I get a keeper.
Hi Cindy - Great photo! Our lake is a popular fishing spot for the local Osprey - they usually show up in the late afternoon/early evening and it's a real treat to watch them dive, although Mary gets mad that they're competing for her fish. And we have a couple of nests in the area that are fun to watch.
Hi Cindy,
Love the photo and what a great find right outside your window. Just great and thanks so much for sharing.
Kristin-yes I'm lucky they often decide to stop and have their fresh catch in plain view.
Fantastic picture and I'm so glad you had your camera at hand so you could share it with us. Nature is totally amazing. I'm currently enjoying/addicted to watching the Decorah Eagles webcam. The pair had 3 eggs and yesterday 1 finally broke out of its shell and today #2 is making its appearance. It is truly addictive and now I'll be worrying about the high winds and them falling out of the nest.

Sue-just about everytime I head out the door I have my camera in hand. And certainly when I head to the parks I doo. Thanks for sharing the Eagles cam!
