Finally our Osprey are back!

First sighting was on Apr 4th here in Rapid City. There are 3 nests in town and two are already occupied by breeding pairs. Osprey were contesting possession of the nest at our local lake so we get to watch how that resolves itself. Did not expect to get good photos of Osprey fishing this early in the season but let me post these anyway. Taken with a Nikon Z8, 300mm pf lens with 1.7 teleconverter at 1/3200 sec, f 6.3, 510mm. I was unprepared to catch its entry into the water but the Osprey flew a circle directly over me giving me time to adjust settings! It’s shaping up to be an interesting Osprey season!

No idea to where our Osprey migrate, however many are known to migrate as far as South America.
