I went back last evening to see if I couldn't snap the osprey family together. The deadbeat dad is still MIA. I usually see him out fishing in the next bay. I have not seen him in a couple days. Hmmm :scratch

Here are a few more shots from yesterday.

Thanks for looking.

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Rene, Dick & Harry...thank you for looking and commenting. Always nice to hear from you.

    I hope to follow the progress of these birds in photographs. Can't wait to get back out here and shoot some more. Unfortunately...relative snow birds arrive tomorrow...so time will be restricted for shooting. :uhoh umph.gif
