Ospreys Mating
While the female Osprey perched next to the massive nest, high in the pine, the male Osprey flew in over my head with more sticks to make that nest just right. For several minutes, he installed the new sticks and “smoothed the sheets,” as the female Osprey cried out every few seconds.
Female osprey looks on as male osprey adds more sticks to their substantial nest.
I kept my 600mm lens focused on the osprey pair as the male lifted off from the nest. Our birding guide Brian Beckner asked, “Cathy, are your ready? Do you know what comes next?”
Lift off! Are you ready, Sweetheart?
Landing next to her on the branch, Female Osprey is all eyes.
