Osprey

The ospreys have been back for a couple of weeks now and I finally took a moment to capture an image to mark the occasion.

Many thanks for dropping by.
You caught this one very nicely. Such an interesting bird to watch.

Marvelous capture of this nesting osprey. How close were you? We have laws in the US about getting too close to them: "During the nesting season, people or their pets should maintain a distance of at least 500 feet from an osprey nest. Disturbance of ospreys is prohibited under the Federal Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and the Connecticut General Statutes Section 26-92." Is it the same there?

What a wonderful looking bird, love that you captured it side on to see that huge beak.

@falcon11 thanks Allison! There are no specific laws that i know of. This nest is atop a tall nesting pole beside a fairly busy road. i just opened the car door to get the shot. My trusty little Nikon P510 42x zoom comes in handy for arthritic hands not wishing to hold heavy lenses.
