Nature photo of 3 Osprey in their nest. Also called sea hawk, river hawk, and fish hawk, is a diurnal, fish-eating bird of prey that was seriously endangered by effects of pesticides in mid-20th century; since DDT and related pesticides were banned in 1972, Ospreys have made a good comeback in many parts of North America. Found near water, either fresh or salt, where large numbers of fish are present. May be most common around major coastal estuaries and salt marshes, but also regular around large lakes, reservoirs, rivers. Migrating Ospreys are sometimes seen far from water, even over the desert.

Ospreys are magnificent birds and it is a great experience to see them hunting for fish. They swoop down and catch the unsuspecting fish in their talons as this one has just done, before flying away to a nearby tree or nest to enjoy it's catch.

Osprey in Flight also known as a Fish Hawk is found all over Montana and nests near lakes and streams.

The Osprey or Fish Hawk is common on almost every continent with the exception of Antarctica. Its primary meal is fish. Here in Montana they arrive in April and stay until mid to late October when their young are old enough to migrate.

Bright Eyed Osprey ©Debra Martz It had no plans of going anywhere, outlasting bird watchers and photographers hoping for that taking flight shot. Captured along the 4800 ft boardwalk at South Padre Island Birding and Nature Center the last day of February. I edited the back ground to mute the light brown and green grasses, and the light gray sky to almost black and white. ©Debra Martz, All Rights Reserved In My Gallery/Collection: Feathered Friends 3 20230228-DSC_6874.NEF

OBSU ART Nature Series: Osprey in Flight

I saw this Osprey in Florida, it was flying back towards it's nest with a big branch of Spanish moss to line the nest with. The nests are very big and are added to each year. The bird was flying against a bland white sky, so I changed it with another one of my sky pics and added one of my textures to give it a bit more atmosphere.

Taken at Coolum on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland. This resident osprey strikes some great poses around the cliffs of Point Arkwright.

Ospreys are one of the best birds of prey to photograph ,those talons and that intense glare in the eyes makes you happy that you are not their prey. This osprey headed took after after finishing a meal and flew straight in my direction creating on opportunity of a lifetime. Taken at Kings Beach, Caloundra in Queensland.

It helps to know where the ospreys live and feed. After a good meal they will head down to the nearest pool of water to wash up.

This osprey had eaten every other part of the fish but had some work to do swallowing that large tail. He got there in the end...

Canon Rebel T3i. Ospreys (Pandion haliaetus) are large birds, standing 21 to 24 in. tall and having a wing span of up to approximately 6 ft. They are dark brown above with white stomach and legs below. The head is white with dark speckles on the crown and a dark brown line through the eye. Two of the best field marks of the osprey are that it flies with crooked or “M”—shaped wings and has dark carpal patches on the under wing. It is the only raptor that actually plunges into the water, entering feet first to catch fish with its talons. The soles of the feet have sharp spiny projections, an adaptation that allows a firm grip on slippery fish. Wilmington, North Carolina USA. Thank you for looking at my Photography!!! Cynthia
