Yes! Two nests by the shore at Clarkes Landing, one at the end of the Clarkes Landing restaurant pier:



One osprey nest at the entrance to Greenwell State Park, sitting on a telephone pole at the edge of a cornfield. No nests at Forrest Landing that I've seen. But if someone puts up a platform they will surely come.

One Eagle nest at Sotterley Mansion, currently sitting eggs or just hatched chicks:

Thanks, I'll check them out. I see an eagle quite frequently flying up our creek, I think there may be a nest in the woods behind one of the farm ponds on Forrest Landing.

I've seen it occaisionally too. But it may also be one of the Sotterley eagles, if you do find another nest ... let us know :)

Awesome shots. I checked out your other galleries and you should enter the powerplant shot in the reflections photo's . It would get my vote.

Great pics, especially the Eagle!

Finally saw an Osprey yesterday for the first time this year. Sometimes I hear them, but can't see them beyond the trees. I guess I have to see the photos here

Sometimes I'm fooled into thinking it is an Osprey sound, when in fact it is a Mockingbird making an Osprey sound...drats!

And I am not saying that lightly, Kurt.

After looking around your galleries, I have to say I respect your ability to view so many worn-out scenes in a fresh way - and then capture that successfully.

Even your cat photos are dynamic.

And I had to laugh at some of your comments about switching from the 30 to 40D, because I said the same things when I got mine a few weeks back.

Why thank you all for the kind words! Shot below was taken today at Solomon's Island just behind the school on Back Creek ... lolCats style :)
