So NOT Hummingbirds!

I have access to this local nest, but I wouldn't want "Mama" anywhere near me! The kids were looking in every direction, wondering what was on the menu for breakfast! (I would have waited to see, but Ken wanted to get underway as our first guests arrive tomorrow. Would you believe we met via 365? There's sure to be a photo and explanation in the next couple of days!)

Oh I just thought Canadian hummingbirds were different.

[Denise (lyndemc)]

What intense stares these parents have! Impressive nest they've built, complete with flowering greenery.

[Louise & Ken]

@lyndemc Those are "the babies"! You should see the size of "Mom"! And yah, don't you love that little purple flower front and center?!

[Louise & Ken]

@allie912 bada boom! I find Canadian hummingbirds to be scarcer... I try to lure them, but up here I don't seem to speak their language!

[Joy's Focus]

What are those? Wonderful capture in their giant nest.

[Rick Schies]

Oh boy, it sounds like a party. Enjoy as I know you all will

[Louise & Ken]

@joysfocus ("Tags", Joy, "tags"...) No, they're not called tags, they're Osprey, also known as sea Eagles. They dive for large fish and bring them to these "babies"! Very cool to watch!

[Taffy]

How cool that your hosting 365 guests! And these are stunning birds -- really clear.

[Pam Knowler]

What a wonderful capture! How lovely to see birds like this. Enjoy your 365 visitors! How exciting!

[Susan Klassen]

Awesome clear shot of these baby birds. Look at all the photo ops you are having. I look forward to your next posts of your 365 visitors.

[lisa]

intense eyes and beaks.

[Graham Thresher]

Superu shot.

[Denise Wood]

Terrific capture :)

[elkehochban]

We take our "hummingbirds" very seriously! Fab shot of these young Osprey. You're very wise not to mess with Momma - her wingspan will reach about six feet, and her talons...! Fab shot!

[richard saffold]

it would be fun see these hover. hi to your guests.

[Tony King]

What I notice most when I photograph osprey is those eyes. So crisp.

[Louise & Ken]

@chard Oh, I did see them learning to lift-off last year! What a delight! We'll be showing off the birds and the harbour view... and consider your message passed!

[Julie Chapa]

Excellent capture. Osprey are difficult to get close to. Have fun with your guests!

[Shepherdman's Wife]

FAVulous shot Louise

[Pyrrhula]

A great fav. shot of those beautiful birds . Difficult to made a brooch of them. I`ll explain later my inspiration to the hummingbirds ones.

[Osia Strasner]

Wow, those are the babies?!! Damn, I wouldn't want to mess with momma, either!! They look more intense than adorable, which might be a good thing since it might prevent you from trying to hug them!! Can't wait to see photos of your Lunenberg meetups with other 365ers! You spread joy wherever you go! :-))

[Marnie]

Great capture Louise.

[Allie]

Amazing shot of these fierce creatures.
