    This past weekend Jim Thiel and myself spent a few hours watching and shooting our Osprey pair. They are still busy building the nest and trying to get things ready of the arrival of eggs.

    Here are a few shots of the many we took, showing them coming back to the nest with a fish.

    I guess they didn't want anymore pictures taken of them.

    Great shots Louie. I think our shutters must have been going off at the same time as these look very familiar. It was a great morning for sure.

    Beautifully done Louie. The color nuance and clarity is remarkable, especially in the third photo.
