Leon Plympton Osprey - in flight

Taken late in the day, this osprey dropped from a high perch to buzz a gathering of turkey vultures that had selected a neighboring tree to roost upon through the night - not far from the osprey's nest. The osprey succeeded in startling several vultures; they flew to another tree not far from where they had been.

NOTE: In the previous posting of the osprey nest I stated the ISO = 100. I just checked; it was actually set at 200 (sorry!).

This adult osprey cruised by directly over my head last time out on the prairie - oh-my.

SPLASH!!!

I turn; an osprey rises from the lake, its wings fanning a shower below, a fish gripped in its talons - gasping, rising-rising upward click-click-click-click ... .

Oh - how I wish I'd seen this bird coming and had a chance to prepare for the entire sequence - maybe next time.

Leon Plympton Osprey Nest

This breeding pair of ospreys has been maintaining this nest on the banks of Newnans Lake for quite some time. They must know what they're doing; this particular nest has withstood the effects of two hurricanes (Francis & Jean) that blew through this part of the state a couple years ago.

It won't be long before this old nest becomes home for a new generation. I plan to document their growth as best I can from ground level.
