photoartflightOsprey Nest On Osprey Platform At J.N. Ding Darling NWR Wildlife Drive
Posted on June 1, 2022
A series of images showing an Osprey nest on an Osprey Platform along the Wildlife Drive at the J.N. Ding Darling National Wildlife Refuge in Florida. All images were taken handheld @ 600mm with a Tamron 150-600mm lens on a Canon R. Some images are cropped to show more detail of my distant subjects. The Canon R Raw files have very little noise with a lot of clean detail when shooting “Raw” files which gives me a lot of opportunities for severe image cropping for getting even closer to far off Bird images .

These images are from a previous trip years ago to the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge, Oceanville Division, in New Jersey. Along the Wildlife Drive there are quite a few Osprey platforms providing good opportunities to photograph Ospreys on nests. Quite often you can also see them with the Osprey nestlings. If you wait long enough you can see them bringing fish to the nests and feeding the chicks.
