My first stop was for this condo with an upstairs and downstairs.
I be checked out by this osprey.
Nearby was this pair who opted for a more retro unit.
I would say they were safe from casual human contact.
A few miles down the road was this cute starter home.
Here we have government assisted housing. The couple who call this home, were circling overhead, and did not wish to be stigmatized by the paparazzi.
The proud owners of this hilltop mansion opted for a gated community.
It's tough keeping up with the Jones's. Adding on is a necessity.
A little bit to the right, Honey.
In-coming!
Yes, we are a proud couple - we will not foreclose!
A gravel BLM road led me along the northeast shore of the lake. I followed it for about 5 miles.
A beautiful area this time of the year with no one around...
except more ospreys. Check the meat-hooks on this one!
Finally, some ospreys who don't need PG&E to build a good home.
They did add a decent amount of old nautical rope, though, to juxtapose the yin with the yang.
Life is good.
The trusty Previa being clutched in nature's bosum.
Focus, Bob, focus.
Just to prove that I am secure in my masculinity, I'm ending with a couple shots of flowers.
Red bud.

Your captions had me laughing out loud! I like how you blame your earlier mis-identification on the "nonbirders." OWN it, Baba. These are gerat pictures, especially the dramatic ones of the osprey and nest in that dead tree -- very sculptural. I wish I could have been along. I love ospreys, and you sure hit the jackpot!
p.s. I meant "great" pictures, not "gerat."
Hey, I was in the back seat, they said they were eagles, they only stopped once - I was hostage to non-birders! (but I should have known better). My real shame will be tomorrow, when I have to recant my story with the crew at IBRRC.
Awesome osprey! Those nests are amazing. I enjoyed your post - good job.

PS: Andria sent me here.
Okay, love the osprey, but I've been teased about some awesome bird pictures from Oregon. Let's get a move on, Baba.
