nesting materials flight
Petruchio worked hard against a high wind to cross the cove with these materials held tight
he almost missed the edge of the nest and I did miss the shot as he landed
these are photos that I took, one-handed because I was holding onto the blowing trees around me…
sorry about the soft resolution, but the shots are fun to watch, I think!

moonrise and adult bald eagle over Jordan Lake
unusual view
this male osprey came in from my left, plowed into the fish, caught the fish with his right talon
he then snapped his wings full up and back and lifted himself and the fish from the river
an unusual viewing angle for me
fish carry
this is the typical aerodynamic way that an osprey carries its catch
they turn the fish around into this position, mid flight
