It had been a couple of weeks so it was time to head out and check on the Osprey nest. The weather and light were not great, but it should be getting close for new arrivals.
The female was on the nest, but it was not long before the male arrived with a fish.
What happens next is the female takes the fish,
… and flies off to a nearby tree to eat it. At least this is what normally happens while they are still incubating eggs. So no chicks to feed in the nest yet.
Both adults left the nest several times chasing Bald Eagles out of the area. Here the female is returning to the nest after one such foray.
All that buzzing around has got to make one hungry,
… and the male obliges once again.
So for this male Osprey it was not quite father’s day, but it should not be long now.
