Osprey With Nesting Material

[Judy Lynn Malloch]

This was taken this morning at Green Cay. It was unusual for me to see this osprey fly in with nesting materail as there was not any visible nest in sight. He land on a snag and stayed there for some time until he finally lost hold of the palm materail and it landed in the water, Quite an interesting morning.

Great flight pose Judy and the nesting material is a big bonus. Good exposure on this bird. I remember seeing many images of these with whites that were near to blown out, if not.

Beautiful picture, nice exposure.
I saw a pair of Osprey last Thursday at Green Cay, it will be nice if they decide to nest on GC.

Very nice flight shot. My only wish would to be able to see more of the wing on the back side.
