After a wild day yesterday which kept me away from the land, I finally made it back over this morning. To my dismay, there wasn't an osprey to be seen...then suddenly while my back was turned, there he was, high up on the power pole. I decided to leave him in peace, and kept on walking around the perimeter of the land when I spotted this fellow fishing in Copsey Creek.
He was amazingly mellow and I was able to stalk him from this vantage point, around a huge eroded area to an even nearer spot which is in the next photo. Finally he had enough and flew to the other bank. It must have been a good fishing spot for him to hang out so long.
The water was very very clear and I didn't spot any fish at all. I have been wondering if the hitch come up this far, but haven't seen any yet.
As I turned away from this Great Blue Heron, a small Hawk, which I think is a Sharp-Shinned Hawk landed right above my head on another power pole. That photo is coming right up.
I even caught a dove on the ground...hopefully that one is clear enough to post as well. A very fruitful day.
