One for today

Sorry about lack of clarity, was/is breezy, and I was standing in 'my' uneven yard, southern MD. OTHERWISE would have been a good portrait of her, eh?

(Osprey female incubating.)

1. Still wonderful.

[elleng]

2. I do LOVE them!

HOPE to get my car back, so I'll have a firm platform (for myself.) (Car's in the shop.)

3. Beautiful! 😍

Does Mr. hunt & bring her food?

[elleng]

4. Yes, they're a real working family!

He gives her breaks, so he 'sits' while she wanders (and fishes.)

[SheltieLover]

5. Very nice!

Wouldn't it be great if humans functioned with such integrity?

[elleng]

6. Right.

SOME likely think osprey (and other wildlife) have proven to be more successful @ life than humans.

7. Certainly at ensuring safety of their young

& fathers being supportive, generally speaking.

I worked with troubled youth & families for years. The 1 constant: dead, imprisoned, absent, or abusive dad.

So sad.

8. ;-(

THIS Dad teaches them to fly, and to fish.

The kids will (likely) hatch in June, and leave MD for south/central America in September!!!

9. But the Osprey have better sense!

They are so beautiful! I'd never even seen a pix of one before, so I really appreciate you sharing!

10. Happy to do so, THRILLED I found this place to live and learn!

11. Ypu are fortunate to live somewhere so beautiful

& rich with Nature!
