photoartflightOspreys On Osprey Platform
A photo of an Osprey bringing nesting materials to the nest on an Osprey Platform along the Wildlife Drive at the Brigantine Division of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Oceanville NJ. This was from a few years ago in May. But can not wait to photograph the Ospreys in the upcoming months along the Wildlife Drive. There are quite a few Osprey Platforms along the Wildlife Drive giving many opportunities to photograph them. You need a fairly long lens unless you want to severely crop your images. These images was taken with a Canon 400mm DO lens with a 2X Teleconverter.

Fine detail in these photos, Reed! So nice to see the young in the nest too!
Thanks Belinda! They are fun photo subjects!
I love to watch your excellent shots of this beautiful bird, Reed. Apparently we do make a mess with leaving all this garbage in our nature.
Thanks so much Greta! They are one of my favorite photo subjects!
Nice captures, Reed. The season is about to begin!
Yes! Can’t wait to go back and photograph them again!
Very nice looks at the ospreys, Reed!
Thanks Steve! They are fun photo subjects!
Great photos!!
Thanks Isabel! They are fun to watch and photograph as they are building the nest and when they are on the nest!
It is shame on human being, that birds could find and use our garbages to build their nests. I found a little nest with interwoven blue electrical wire. So sad…
Yes! Sometimes when photographing nests you do see a very odd mix of “nest materials” the birds find to build their nests!
Love these, Reed!! I’m home in Maryland now and I’ve been seeing Osprey in flight, they’ve returned to the Chesapeake Bay, YAY!!! 🤗 🤗
Welcome home!! Can’t wait to see some of your Osprey images! And Eagles from Blackwater NWR!
Thank you, Reed!
