The Osprey from the nest up the road have provided lots of photo opportunities since we moved here. This Osprey with nesting material is from April 2022.

I'm having trouble remembering ever having a bird of prey as the species of the week. Maybe an owl. Bear in mind I've only been around here for about two years.
Kevin and I probably burned through the raptors before you got here.

That certainly would have been better than some of what popped up on yesterday's schedule.

It isn't a great photo; it was taken with a cell phone, but an Osprey it is.

That looks like a trout that may have been at the limits of what the bird could lift!
