Return of the Ospreys


It was nice to see ospreys again. Apparently they like to stop here as they migrate south for the winter. They refuel by catching some fish in our community lake. 

I was lucky to get some pictures of one fishing. It circled over the lake until it spotted a target, then swooped down suddenly and splashed in the water. It flew off so quickly that I did not get another picture until it had landed in a tree and then started circling again.

    How amazing to see the ospreys catching fish from your community lake. That would be a rare sighting over here. I'm glad they stopped by so you could take those action photos.
