The Osprey Nest
The Osprey Nest – the osprey birds are picking out their nesting boxes. I photographed this one below at sunrise, as the osprey was perched on top of the man made nesting box.
It must be exhausting making their nest. I was watching these two one morning, the one bird is going back and forth bringing one branch at a time. But when I looked closer at the bird perched on top, its eyes are closed.
Trying to get a nap in while its mate is bringing in housing material. He is just going to rest a minute. Needs a quick cat nap. 🙂

I see a lot of Osprey when I am in Kino in Mexico.
Now that I am in the southeast US, I’m seeing birds I don’t know and hearing birdsongs that I don’t recognize.
I have had two spectacular sightings: a bald eagle, about 15 feet away from me, who was on the ground and took off suddenly and startled me, and a whooping crane!
How exciting Emilie, I think this year has been one of the best birding years in a long time. I have added 52 new birds to my list.
That’s quite a fancy man-made set-up for the Ospreys … at least the nest isn’t next to a siren like “my” Ospreys built their nest next to the fire station siren. 🙂
Yes, these are so well made and there are 5 of them that I have seen in the area.
It’s a good idea – it encourages the ospreys to nest there and birdwatchers can follow their nesting habits and youngsters.
Ugh, getting those darn comment submission errors – tried to comment on all your posts, but only a few are getting through – very odd. Oh well, that last shot is amazing – has a very foreboding The Stand type of feel to it.
I will check the spam folder when I get home. Sometimes I am finding stuff in there. Don’t know why though.
Your images are always fabulous. A true marvel!
Thank you very much, I appreciate that. Have a wonderful day 😊
Beautiful shots, Sandra. It must have been so interesting to watch those two amazing birds work together to build their home.
Thank you Kellye, yes it was. They did not seem to mind me standing where I was. They are quite the builders as well
Wow
Thank you very much
Nice osprey and sky photos. Remember, don’t look like a mouse around them.
Thank you yes, they are quite the hunters. 😊
That sunset looks absolutely stunning.
Thank you very much 😊
Wonderful photos.
Thank you very much 😊
Welcome, Sandra
Great pictures and fantastic video!
Thank you Sandra
Have a wonderful day !
You are very welcome Francine, thank you 😊
Wonderful pictures. I have heard that if the female does not like the nest, she won’t lay any eggs.
Yes, I have heard that as well. It has to be just right.
Thanks for these osprey updates, great video and pictures !
Thank you so much Rudi. 😊
The video is very impressive and worth viewing.
Thank you very much, I appreciate that. 😊
The pictures look great, Sandra! Just an FYI, I believe there is an issue with the embedded link; I believe a typo caused it to not be correctly showing.
Thanks for sharing and have a great week ahead!😊
Thank you Katherine and thank you about the link, I will check it out. I write my blogs a couple weeks in advance when we are traveling and I don’t always get to proof them but sure appreciate others letting me know so I can fix them. 😊
Of course, I’m happy to help out! I understand how these things work. It might possibly be imprinted in my consciousness as a result of my previous IT-related jobs. 😊✌
Nice, that would be quite the job. I ha r another blogger who helps me when I get spelling wrong, which I appreciate. Spell check doesn’t always work 100 percent.
OMG, yes! I used to have a friend who would do that for me, and every tip is greatly appreciated. 😍
I was reading a book today (The Game of Life and how to play it, by Scovel Shinn), and it said that there are no friends or enemies in this world, they’re all teachers. ♡
I think that thought is great.
So true, I like that.
Great captures Sandra !
Thank you very much 😊
