This is the main section of what we call the ‘Osprey Tree’. They have a nest the size of some motels. It grows bigger every year.

Each year there are two young birds. From what I know they both usually grow and survive. That’s hard out here. Bald Eagle live just down the marsh and they also have a big nest. Eagles and Osprey do fight a lot right here.
Above is an adult also in the tree. One of the pair is close by most of the time.

You have a darn good reach and a steady hand on that camera, Ted. Fabulous photos of these amazing birds.
Thank you. It was long for the nest. Probably on that crop sensor body about 750+
That is nice to know that these birds survive! Excellent photos and very unique.
Probably the biggest danger would be high winds, like a hurricane. These chicks are late, usually the chicks are gone before hurricanes hit.
