Osprey, heron and peregrine falcon
Jul 10, 2021 01:41:30 #
It was a busy afternoon at the slough, although the osprey failed to get a fish after six dives. He is good at shaking the excess water off though! The peregrine stayed on the power line pole for quite a while but didn’t hunt for any prey. The young yellow crowned night heron was stationary in a tree……..I never tire of these birds and I know I post a lot of osprey pics but I hope you enjoy.
No fish, water drops shed

I guess you can call it an obsession, but what an elegant raptor! Thank you so much, Marg!
