Lately I've lucked out with two really good osprey opportunities. Both totally unexpected and hundreds of miles away from each other.


1. Waquoit Bay National Estuary Research Center

2. South of Ticonderoga, NY on Rte 22

Both the snowy and great males at Craig Park have had strong breeding color this year, but we don't seem to get plumage change like that.

That's a Snowy Egret Roy. I thought it was a Cattle Egret at first until I saw the feet. Don't recall seeing breeding colors on them either.
