About I have been posting shots of this nest of Osprey from time to time this summer. They will soon be leaving the nest. They have not yet aquired the nerve to to fly but practice from time to time by flying a few feet straight up above the nest and then settle back into the nest. They will be flying within a week or two. Even after they learn to fly they return to the nest frequently and the parents continue to feed them until they learn to fish on their own. By around September they will leave for their winter home.

I love the way the one is looking at you andf the other over his shoulder. It's like they're saying, 'Oh, it's just you and your camera again. Fine'. Hmmm, I wonderfwhat the other onde is trying to tell you.
Great shot, Del.

Yes, I see what you mean. A problem with filming the osprey is that because of their overhead position you must point the camera at the sky. The sittings I have to prevent the sky from blowing out the whole photo never seemed successful. I always lose sharpness. Today was dark overcast so I took several shots hoping to avoid that problem. I recognized the washed out look of the background and made a frame. By now you know me and my leaning toward "natural look" and decided the frame ruined that. I have never seen a framed bird nest. I really never thought of simply adding some color to the sky. Now that I see it I agree with you, I might have used slightly less blue than you did but I agree it does improve the photo. Thanks for the interest in my photos. I appreciate that very much. Del.

Brilliant shot Del. The detail is superb. This one has got to have a whole page to itself in the book. A masterpiece!!!!

Hi Del what a great capture - I agreee with Michael I think you have been spotted - Good detail and texture in the fethers, wondered if a bit of colour in the background would help so it doesn't disappear into the UF background
