Let me begin this blog entry by apologizing for the out-of-focus photo above. This large Osprey nest is perched atop a very high communications tower, at the top of a large hill, in the middle of a large farm, near to where I live. The shot is the best I could do with my 300mm lens. But the image of the raptor is not important, in and of itself, but the fact I have discovered this location is very gratifying for me as a local birder. In the last few years I had lost track of four Osprey nesting sites in King Township. All four nests had been abandoned or destroyed. A tragedy if you are an Osprey admirer like me. But now I know that one or more of the big birds are nearby, I can once again look forward to seeing them up close somewhere and getting photos like the one below, which I took nearby a few years ago.
Please comment if you wish.
