BELINDA GROVER PHOTOGRAPHY

STOPS ALONG THE WAY

ANGRY BIRD

26 Comments

We were taking photos of an adult and osprey chick on their nest at a respectful distance (with long lenses and at least 40 feet below 😏 ) but the osprey parent was not happy at all. It flew from the nest, circled above and flew uncomfortably low and close. We took the hint and walked quickly back to the car, content with the photos we had got.

  1. I’ve never seen an Osprey do that before. It sounds like you got out just in time! I have had Red-wing Blackbirds bomb-dive me. That is not fun! Anyway, great photo and story to go with it.

  6. Great photo, and it sounds like you made the right decision to move along. Very respectful to alleviate the parent’s concern. (I bet that parent would be flattered by this picture…)
