    Default Ospreys On Nest

    I captured this image at Circle B Bar Reserve in Polk County, Florida. On recent ventures to Circle B we had not been to this area and were surprised to discover a occupied Osprey nest within reach to photograph. Looking at the nest it appears these birds are partial to Spanish Moss and sticks with Lichen attached. Comments and critique welcomed and appreciated. Thank you for viewing.

    Wow, what a great nest that is! Such beautiful branches, and mosses adding texture and colour. I'm even liking the side-lighting here. Wonderful!

    That must be enormous! Nicely presented and an unusual image.
