It's feeding time at the nest.

I can get almost right up to the nest. Here is a wider shot of someone else taking shots. I can walk to the edge of the water or lean against that post where the sign is, but I like to take the shots from a little further back as not to annoy the parents. Those talons are no joking matter.:)

The chicks are getting pretty big. Hopefully in a few weeks I'll have some shots as they're learning to fly.

Today was mostly flowers, bugs and other non-osprey related stuff!:)

No idea what kind of bug this is.

Not much activity around the Osprey's nest Saturday. The chicks are getting almost as big as the adults, but I did not see any of them trying to fly yet. However it was a hot day, so that could be it.

The resident heron is making her/his rounds.

Got up early today, so Max and I drove down to the river for a few sunrise shots.
