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 .
Osprey Bringing Nesting Material to Nest
Posted on May 22, 2020
Some of my favorite photo subjects are raptors (Eagles, Hawks, Ospreys, Falcons, etc.). This is an Osprey bringing nesting materials to build the nest, from a trip years ago to the Brigantine Division of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge in Oceanville NJ. Image shot with a Canon 400mm DO lens.
Ospreys Bringing Sticks to Their Nest

Osprey often keep bringing sticks to their nests even after they are built and there are young chicks in the nest. I do not know if it is for repairs or just what they do. It is fun to see them swoop them up from the water by the shore.
