Favorite Osprey Nest. Mama sitting on her eggs, guessing about 10 days or so by now. Hoping for 3 chicks this year!!
Shot in the evening with lots of wind.
Shot in Winter Park Fl.

You certainly got the attention of the bird. What precautions did you take to not disturb them? I find the branches above the head a bit distracting.

Glad to see she is finally on the nest and it looks more substantial than last years. I always felt this location lent itself to a early morning shoot. Nice behavior image.
