Crazy Angle
I saw this osprey nest at a football field and I wonder how the chicks don't fall out of the nest yet they return every year.
Thank you. The osprey was there when I arrived. Probably 4:45pm. He/she stayed there the whole time. Usually, one of them is always in the nest but this one stayed on the perch. She kept fluttering her feathers so I took about 25 pics. This one showed the crazy angle best.
A fabulous observation and photo. I love the silhouette against the blue, blue sky.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I know I wouldn't want to learn to fly from there!
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Did you have to wait long to catch the osprey in your photo?
ReplyDeleteThank you.
