Osprey II

Back up to Lakeport for work, so I reshot the Osprey family. I think they were nervous as they took flight as soon as I got close.

Osprey

After leaving the hospital in Lakeport, I saw what I can only describe as an Osprey pallet. The mid-day lighting was horrible.

Burd Bonanza

I don’t know why but there were so many birds out in the lagoon this morning. Perhaps the fishing was good, as every burd was fighting for the best spot.
