Fly softly and carry a big stick

PICTURE OF THE MOMENT

 

A couple of days ago I discovered an area where there are several nesting osprey pairs. I hung around for a couple of hours watching them in fascination…. and taking pictures, of course. If you missed the best of the pictures, it’s at Nest-building osprey.

The following pictures show why I was so fascinated. With apologies to Theodore “Teddy”‘ Roosevelt (1858-1919), 26th President of the United States (1901-1909), I title these “Fly softly and carry a big stick.”

I will have more pictures from this osprey area in upcoming posts.

  1. Fantastic!!! Keep them coming….

  2. Very nice action sequence. Thanks for sharing.

  3. Great sequence of action in the air, most birds carry twigs or sticks now for their nests.
