Beautiful pictures everyone.

I saw one on my way this morning sitting on top of a traffic sign right by the road and went by only a few feet away. Amazingly, it never moved. I think it was very intent on getting its next meal.

Unless you're bringing some of that warmth from Texas, I sincerely doubt that's going to happen.

And no problems with finding osprey - they're everywhere. I know I saw at least a dozen today.

Amazing...I'm going to be like my first trip to Alaska...it took an extra 2 hours to get to Seward from Anch' I was pulling over every 5 minutes...I'm lucky I made it there and I wasn't put in the trunk.

Some of the nests I've seen are actually more like a bird apartment complex than a strictly 'ospery nest' ... sometimes I've seen 4 or more small bird species nesting with the osprey:

In the following shot, I bet the orders from the female were something like 'Come back with his camera ... or on it!' :

Awesome capture!!!!

May be able to introduce you to 3 bald eagles.!

Too soon to be getting injured osprey at the center, eagles are being nice and not stealing fish.....

OK..back to critter paperwork...

They are absolutely everywhere down here. One of my neighbors had his boat out on Wednesday, put it back on the lift and by noon Thursday the ospreys were starting a nest on the bimini top. Every nesting platform on St. Clement's Island is occupied as well as all channel markers surrounding the island. One nest is about 6' diameter and 3-4' tall.
