Aye Mates,
Having been highly involved in wildlife conservation for o'er 50 years, I recognize that the natural world can be both extremely beautiful and simultaneously cruelly indifferent. I have seen that drama play out o'er and o'er again and it both amazed me and saddened me dependent on the circumstances at hand. All that said, I have been watching several broods of osprey at different nest sites and captured this tender moment with me camera yesterday morning. I am hopeful of being able to photograph these birds as they fledge.
Cheers,
Irishwhistler 🍀🇮🇪🇺🇸

We have ospreys at the local lakes/parks....more during migration times but the idle few year-round. There's a flat pole-top platform on an island in our most local park but the only birds I've seen on it aren't ospreys...and no nesting material ever. I don't think it's tall enough, for starters. I love to watch them circle the lake, scouting out their meals. We'll sometimes have babies flying around or calling in the trees, so I know there's a nest fairly close.
Great catch! We see them a lot in the Outer Banks and there are a number of those platforms on the sound side that often have nests. I love to see them make an ocean catch and then fly over to their nesting area. My phone doesn't quite get that degree of detail
Amazing picture of an awesome bird.
