Best on black. I went down to an osprey nest that often has nest building going on at this time of year. It was supposed to be the only day without rain this week...of course as soon as I got my camera out the rain started, and stopped, and started. So I kept getting in and out of my car hoping I'd see a fly in in time to get out and photograph some action. I was lucky just once but it was fun to see what he brought her and to see her little head popping up to watch him.
Thanks for the visits, comments, suggestions, favs
@mikegifford I think it looks like seaweed or piece of weed or something. And the subsequent behavior looked like placing it in nest rather than eating
Great capture. I waited around my nest to see if I could get an incoming, but just didn't happen. The one I did get, just sat there and then took off and didn't come back, or at least while I was there. Just can't get over these nest that they build. They are huge.
Oh - thank you for waiting - this was definitely worth it. What a good view of the female almost lost in that huge nest and the male caught in flight - with a very useful looking building item. Marvellous to see. :)
