Mother Osprey Flying with Fish

A mother osprey carries a fish in the air back towards her nest where at least two chicks await. I have visited this nest for 4-5 years now, and I believe this is a different female than the one in past years. She seemed more nervous and younger. There is a place to walk along the canal and the nest sits on a platform high above the path. She was very nervous as I passed under and took to the air, the fish still in her claws. She circled, and then returned to feed the baby ospreys (seen in another photo). The other osprey was not as skittish.

Nature, animals, beauty have been a source of nourishment throughout my life. Photography allows me to capture, interpret, and share that world of wonder I see about me, and sometimes use what I capture as an inspiration to create something new, by incorporating other exposures.

Welcome to my page! There's a lot of photography here, so feel free to make multiple visits. The work can be viewed in galleries or you can search by keywords or title.

In addition, recently, three large prints of waterfalls (Spirit Falls with Reflection, Moon Falls, and Pinard Falls), were bought by the Cottage Grove Ranger District Office to decorate their new work...
