Osprey Nest 5.jpg

The first images of this gallery are taken not far from Moran Junction in Wyoming, near Grand Teton National Park. The pair of Osprey were still adding to their nest, and mating frequently each day. Sadly I had to leave them before the first egg was laid. When I revisited the nest for two days in late July (photos to come later), only one adult was observed, but there were two healthy chicks on the nest with the adult. I spent about six hours over one day and a morning, and never saw them being fed, and the adult left the nest one time to get another large stick to add to the perimeter of the nest (perhaps an effort to shield them from my view along the roadway?).
