Osprey Action

Here are a couple of videos of the osprey nest.  In the first one, the 3 youngsters are exercising their wings.  In the next, a second adult bird lands in the nest, probably the daddy with a fish for the young.  I can't figure out how to embed the videos full size.  If you right click and choose "watch on youtube", you can see a larger version.

  1. Neat video. I am just learning (teaching myself, a long slow not too painful exercise) how to do video and place it on my blog. Thanks for the inspiration to keep at it.

  10. Nice videos, but it is odd -- I am so used to seeing ospreys in the wet, green environment of Florida that I have a hard time envisioning them in the dry environment of the West.

  11. Love it, we saw a few nests last year in Florida. Your Yellowstone pics bring back happy memories of my trip there and to the Grand Tetons a few years ago!

  13. Whoa, Janie, that's quite a comment by Anonymous. He really has quite a wealth of information to share. I've had my spam filter catch most of those, but sometimes something gets through. Amazing video by the way. Is that with your Sony?

  15. Spent the weekend camped on the Madison R, watching "fish-eagles" swoop past--great birds.

  16. I think this is the same nest we watched and photographed. The more I learn about osprey, the more I wish they were our national bird! I had no idea that eagles steal fish right from them.
