20150713 312, SERIES - Osprey.jpg

Ottawa West

Three images of nesting Osprey.

Top Image: Three total, counting the mosquito flying over.


Actually, there were three young, all waiting anxiously for Dad to bring home the bacon. Dad was on his way, but flew by after seeing us. The young are all panting as it was a very hot day and they have no protection from the sun/heat.


All, including Mom, are anxiously awaiting breakfast. But, Dad has gone off to eat some of the fish he caught himself. He later returned with the now headless fish.

Very cool captures. Was it warm out? The youngsters always seemed to have their mouths open, as if for cooling off.
