O - Osprey

In recent years, I see a lot of osprey (fish hawks) around Newfoundland and Labrador. I have taken some great photos of osprey in Florida, Nova Scotia and here on the island of Newfoundland.

In the first photo today, there were 4 birds in the nest (1 adult and 3 young ones) and they were really conscious that I was there. In the second two photos you can see an osprey flying overhead, then it folded its wings and dropped quickly towards the water.

There are 18 additional photos on my updated Osprey Gallery at: http://lanephotography.com/birds/osprey/osprey.htm
