I was reading Thunder Below! on the front porch this morning, when ol' mama osprey caught my eye as she made her way back to the nest to check on the kiddos.

Mama was busy, so the young ones just chilled out, watched, and waited, seemingly unimpressed by the shiny showoff who came on by just a few minutes after mama left.

Anyway, what's impressive about a copycat--especially if you're copying the critters who've been around since the dinosaurs. The skies around here amaze and impress me. Life is good. Just open the door, step outside, and give it a whirl.

Very clever, and how lovely to have ospreys nesting so close to your home. Great pictures Sandy.
ReplyDeleteLOL! The picture reminds me of two old people sitting on a park bench. Just sitting. Just sitting. :-)

Kinda of similar tot he idea in my poem, huh! I KNEW you would get it! Great shots of the osprey! thanks for stopping by my poetry blog. Sorry I haven't been around much lately but hopefully that will be changing soon! All the family visits are finally over!
ReplyDeleteThat first photo is a great action shot. The two nestlings are cute sitting there together consoling each other on the lack of fish to eat. Or are they eyeballing that copter?
