[QUOTE="Calgary 617, post: 21610, member: 6349"] A week ago I went out to look for Grizzlies in Banff NP with no luck, but the ospreys are coming back from the South now and occupy their nests. Two out of five I now had pairs building on the nest but one is better to photograph. Last year I already got lucky there and got some good shots of one feeding, but this time it was even better. In just a little over an hour I saw them mate three times, then the male went off to fish, came back with a fish and landed on the nest real short, only to take off again without leaving anything for the female behind. Then it flew by me to land on its feeding tree, finishing off the whole fish. Here are some of the shots I got.
