Osprey (Pandion haliaetus)
After having breakfast this morning, I was sitting outside, enjoying the morning bird songs. Glancing down across the pond I saw this osprey in a tree. I had my camera and took it down to the near side of the pond and got a few pictures. While I was there it flew, tried to catch a fish (but didn’t seem to get one), and returned to its perch. I walked around onto the dam and although this was taken through the branches of a nearer tree, I think it’s the best of my pictures before it flew off. I also heard quite a few turkeys in the woods this morning.
