Does anybody around you have an outdoor pond of Koi? I imagine that might bring an Osprey around.

Good Morning DragonsLady- Temps in NH are climbing to 60 today -but we are just getting over recent snowfalls (got a foot last week). Their are some streams and a swamp within 1/2 a mile - I am just used to seeing them on a body of water. Pleasent surprise seeing this guy high in a dead pine, about 25 feet in from the roadway!
Hoping to scout the area (swamp) to see if any nests are their. Its not a huge swamp..but I guess I can't rule it out ? The ; looks young to me Osprey- was calling to someone.

You were lucky to get them but too bad they are so soft and out of focus.

Nicely captured. But man, what are the odds of getting such a nice bird to pose on the branch with your name on it.
