This osprey lives about a quarter of a mile away from my parents' home in North Carolina. An intrepid hunter and excellent mother, she has a lot to say about many things.

Did you take these pictures, they are amazing...
ReplyDeleteI find it so utterly fascinating when I see photography of birds, as I yet have to capture some decent images. The Scandinavian birds are too shy and very difficult to approach, I am always so surprised seeing so many close up images on so many blogs of such a variety of wild birds.;)
xo
your photos are wonderfully captured.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful photos!! She is an amazing bird of prey...what colors!! Wowzers!!

gosh, he is a bit scary, isn't he...very nice.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pic. I bet she is not a vegetarian.
ReplyDeleteYour photography always amazes me! How do you do it? I miss all the wildlife I grew up with. That I saw near the water's edge. I wonder....do they miss me, too? When I leave this desert, I will miss the wildlife here as well. Nature is such a blessing. You honor it in a beautiful way.
ReplyDeleteYou must be able to get fairly close to this bird to get such great shots. Fun. They pass through our area but never stop to set up housekeeping.
ReplyDeleteWow! These are awesome photos Sandy! Happy WW :)
ReplyDeleteHow well you captured her beauty.
ReplyDeleteI am amazed that the feathers are almost see through Thats a great shot!!
ReplyDeleteSandy - what a wonderful capture my friend.

Very impressive bird and photos. She does look quite talkative in that last picture.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots!
ReplyDeleteOh Sandy, these are just fabulous. Amazing shots.. wow!
ReplyDeleteGorgeous, amazing, spectacular photos! We have ospreys visit on occasion (outside of Seattle), but the bald eagles chase them away. It's all fascinating. How can people say bird-watching is boring?!
ReplyDeleteI loved the ospreys when we lived in NC! Great photos.
ReplyDeleteWow-you captured the spirit perfectly : ) Somehow you always do!
ReplyDeleteBoth pictures are outstanding, but that second one definitely says 'No messing around here'! I really like both of these.
ReplyDeleteShe looks like a fierce and wise mother! Love the light through her tail feathers.
ReplyDeleteMarvelous catch with your camera! We have Osprey nests here too but never caught one this close up!
ReplyDeleteSandy, these pictures of the osprey are amazing!
ReplyDeleteSTAY AWAY
ReplyDeleteI hear that.
she looks scary...
ReplyDeleteWOW! Now those are some awesome captures! Superb!
ReplyDeleteSandy.
ReplyDeleteI was needing a bird fix :) and these are amazing.
We visited a reserve in Florida years ago.. it was full of osprey and their nesting places, butterflies, and the trees had been the recent victim of fire ... I believe there was a connection. And it was so incredible , the birthing and dying .
Sandy: Amazing captures, I love that bird.
ReplyDeleteOh he's awesome! You got wonderful shots of him!
ReplyDeleteShe does have the look of an expert, and you captured her confidence perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot , Sandy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your POTW award!!
