The Tahoe Osprey Pix

 

Houston, the osprey has landed

Yes, I was too far away with my little 105 lens. Big ol' thanks to Kristina, the printer at Wolf Camera in Redwood City, CA, for making something out of nothing.

You can see by the shadow on the tree, almost up to the nest, that there wasn't much sunlight left; another five minutes and the nest would have been in shadow, too.

 

Two adults and one chick at the nest.

Ospreys are big, people: over 54 inches wing span. When they spot a trout, it's too late for that fish to start its estate planning.

Nice wings, baby!
