out of the shadows below the causeway the osprey appeared, fish dangling from his talons
osprey fishing
Tagmissed, again
this morning this osprey missed his fish….
do you see it?
he went around a second time, dove again and missed it then too
gave up and headed back over the lake
this big fish didn’t away…
The osprey hit the water at a steep angle and disappeared under the surface.
He slowly emerged and then went under again.
I knew he had a large fish he was fighting…
about a one pound bass.
Ace and the Thief
Ace the osprey had caught a small fish.
He then changed directions in the air to head back to his nest.
An immature herring gull wanted the fish.
Ace tried to hold on to the fish so he could feed his mate Amelia………

they are back!
Yeah! The ospreys are back at the lake!
They have been spotted from north to south and side to side on the shorelines.
This male osprey has gotten himself a fine fish for his supper.
autumn accent
Autumn osprey: flashing accent of feathers and fish against the fall foliage.
The migrant osprey was out fishing again this morning.
There is an injury at the tip of his right wing, but he doesn’t seem to notice it.
He is very efficient at his fishing and often pulls large fish out of the river.
He proudly showed me his catch as he left out over the dam.
