Osprey, Bonita Bay. Bonita Springs, Fl., USA
Osprey Landing

Species: Osprey | Location: Bonita Bay. Bonita Springs, Fl., USA

By Maryle Barbe

I was driving down my street and noticed an Osprey sitting on the snag tree and another one kept flying by. Luckily I had my small camera in the car and just sat and waited for some action. I thought that these 2 Ospreys were ready to mate but no luck. Then one landed again while the other flew off which is seen in the photo. Maybe next time but it's always good to have a camera with you!
