I am linking up my Osprey post to Friday Ark and Camera Critters. Both are great memes to visit if you are an animal lover like me.
These Osprey's are from my archives, it has been a cloudy and rainy week and there has not been very many opportunities for taking new photos. I hope this rain stops so I can go out and play. Rain, Rain go away, come back some other day.
The Osprey is an awesome looking raptor and is also known as the Fish hawk. The Osprey is dark above and white below. They have a short crest and a dark eye stripe. They are 24 inches in length.
The Osprey like the Bald Eagles were once threatened by DDT. Now, they are a familiar sight on lakes, Bays and rivers. Their huge stick nests are very visable on poles, buoys and large trees.
I hope you enjoyed seeing my Osprey's and to see more cool and cute critters
please visit Friday Ark and Camera Critters. Thanks to the host of the Friday Ark and to Misty Dawn for hosting Camera Critters. I hope everyone has a fantastic weekend.

Their diet consists of fish. They are pretty cool to watch hunting and catching their prey.

Hi Eileen, so glad Ospreys were brought back from the brink! Yes, travelling is exhausting, I agree. The waiting for connecting flights seems to be the most tiring! Hope you're having a wonderful weekend. Jo
Great captures Eileen!I don't see these guys very often - but when I do - it's quite thrilling :)
Fantastic bird! Great spotting.
You have some great shots of these amazing birds. I seem to miss seeing them, though I have been looking out for their nests.

Marvellous shots - I've never seen one up this close before.
Really cool birds, aren't they! My brother lives on a lake in Alabama and has an osprey that sits in his tree eating fish quite often. Never saw one this close before though! Thanks for visiting my blog!
Beautiful photos, I like this Osprey.
Great shots, Eileen. I used to live near a river and there were several of those huge osprey nests across the river from me. Fascinating.

That bird must have struggled long enough in order to come out from your archive.
It seems like he is posing for you, lovely shots Eileen.

great shots Eileen. This bird is one of my favorites but I have only seen it flying.
These are wonderful photos of this osprey, Eileen! Looks a bit like the eagle..
Love your photos! We see this bird here in Florida! A magnificent bird! ♥
These are great osprey pictures -- his raptor's eye really shows! We used to have them here on the Lake, but haven't seen any this year -- the nesting posts are empty -- nobody seems to know what happened. (We see them in FL too, a lot).
lovely photos, ospreys are magnificent birds
Great shots - loved to see these birds in FL on the coast!
